Somers Point was once known as the Somerset Plantation and its settlement started around 1693. Somers Point was incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 24, 1886, from portions of Egg Harbor Township. Somers Point was incorporated as a city on April 9, 1902, from all of Somers Point borough and additional portions of Egg Harbor Township. Most shore dwellers and travelers have to pass through Somers Point to get to Ocean City, NJ, America's Family resort. The Somers Point Circle is the main hub of the area, but the historic district is on one of the spokes that leads to this hub. And so, without further ado, here is a list of my seven waymarks, in descending category order.
