History

What is now North Wildwood City was originally incorporated as the borough of Anglesea on June 13, 1885, from portions of Middle Township, based on the results of a referendum held 11 days earlier. The borough was reincorporated on March 6, 1896, and again on May 4, 1897. On May 16, 1906, the Borough of North Wildwood was incorporated, replacing Anglesea Borough.[22]

Legislation passed in April 1908 established a potential consolidation of North Wildwood and Holly Beach City into Wildwood, subject to approval of referendums in each of the three municipalities.[23]

On April 30, 1917, the area was reincorporated as the City of North Wildwood, in turn replacing North Wildwood borough.[22] The city's name comes from Wildwood, which in turn was named for the area's wild flowers.[24]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city had a total area of 2.135 square miles (5.528 km2), including 1.753 square miles (4.539 km2) of land and 0.382 square miles (0.988 km2) of water (17.88%).[1][2]

The borough borders the Cape May County municipalities of Stone Harbor Borough, Wildwood City, West Wildwood Borough, Middle Township, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Members of the governing body are selected in partisan voting as part of the November general election.
