Atlantic City's Steel Pier Celebrates Golden Jubilee
Atlantic City residents mark the Steel Pier's 50th anniversary with a retrospective look at its history since opening on June 18, 1898. The pier, built on iron and steel girders near the beachfront, has hosted music and regimental performances while evolving into a landmark. Estimates show the attraction drew heavy tourist and local attention, with ownership shifting to George A. Hamid years ago and the site valued around 2 million dollars amidst a long history of public interest and redevelopment efforts.
