James Long, the lost blocks and the inlet.
Longport is named for James Long, who owned the land, and became a borough on March 7, 1898, from Egg Harbor Township.
Between 1900 and 1916, storms washed away about 180 acres of the island below 11th Avenue as Great Egg Harbor Inlet moved north. That history is why flood and erosion are part of every conversation here.
Longport’s average 2018 property tax bill, $10,872, was the highest in Atlantic County. Teenagers attend Ocean City High School.
