Description
James Long, an absentee owner, purchased a parcel of land in 1857 that grew over the years as sand accumulated and as additional property was purchased. Acquired by M. Simpson McCullough in 1882, the community was named Longport in honor of Long.
Longport was incorporated as a borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 7, 1898, from portions of Egg Harbor Township
Longport is located on the southwest corner of 8.1-mile long Absecon Island, along with Margate City, Ventnor City and Atlantic City to the northeast.
With Little Egg Harbor situated just on its western border, Longport offers many opportunities for fishing, kayaking or any other water sport that one might enjoy. The beach of Longport is pristine, perfect for surfing, sunbathing or simply strolling the sand in search of the perfect seashell.
