or in the process of living, working or vacationing in this county, located
within the area of New Jersey, known as

Think of this page as your starting point or gateway for accessing everything you need to

Atlantic County is comprised
of 23
municipalities. It is a diverse county, both in terms of population,
history, demographics and business opportunities. It includes rural,
suburban and some of the best known
Jersey Shore
communities, including
Brigatine
and
Atlantic City.
Atlantic County is a county located in the U.S.
state of
New Jersey.
As of the
2000 Census, the population is
252,552. Its
county seat is
Mays Landing. This
county is part of the
Delaware Valley area.
All of what is known today as Atlantic County was once called
Egg Harbor,
the eastern half of the original
County of Gloucester
The county provides
easy access to
parks,
seashores
and relaxing beaches, business/financial centers, good schools and
restaurants, major sporting and entertainment venues, including
music and the
arts,
plus an unlimited variety of shopping opportunities. It's all here and
accessible in a matter of minutes.
There
are great places to live, work, play, vacation and raise your family in Atlantic
County.
They include
pinelands communities such as
Mullica Township, the growing family oriented
Galloway, the beach community of
Brigatine, and of course
Atlantic City. You're invited to check
them all out and experience each of their unique advantages to see which is best for your situation.
A
choice of good schools (public, private and parochial), extensive and
varied sports programs and recreational opportunities for all ages and skill
levels are available. Convenient access to major transportation, including roads,

South Jersey Shore area. The
Garden State Parkway and NJ Turnpike system gives you convenient access to

What often first
comes to mind when discussing Atlantic county is
Atlantic City,
the
Las Vegas of the East Coast which has the limelight and notoriety,
along with the beach communities such as
Brigatine,
Ventnor and
Margate.
While
Atlantic City and the surrounding shoreline communities are a significant part of
the county's tourist and vacation economy and it's history, they compromise a
relatively small section
of the larger county area. There are also small
pineland
communities, agricultural centers like
Hammonton
Township which claims to be the
blueberry capital of the world, and historic
villages such as Mays Landing, the county seat located in
Hamilton Township,
the largest municipality in New Jersey in terms of area.
