Atlantic City, sometimes referred to by its initials AC, is a coastal resort city on the Jersey Shore, located in Atlantic County in the U.S. state of New Jersey.
Atlantic City makes up one half of the Atlantic City-Hammonton Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes these cities and all of Atlantic County for statistical purposes. Both Atlantic City and Hammonton, along with the surrounding Atlantic County, are culturally connected to Philadelphia and are part of the larger Philadelphia metropolitan area—also known as the Delaware Valley—which was the seventh-largest metro area in the country in 2020.
Located in South Jersey on Absecon Island, Atlantic City is known for its taxis, casinos, nightlife, boardwalk, beaches, and Atlantic Ocean shoreline. The city is widely known as the "Las Vegas of the East Coast" and served as the inspiration for the American version of the board game Monopoly, which features the names of several Atlantic City streets and landmarks. In 1976, New Jersey voters legalized casino gambling in Atlantic City, and the first casino opened two years later. From 1921 to 2004, the city hosted the Miss America pageant, which later returned from 2013 to 2018.
According to the 2020 Census, Atlantic City had a population of 38,497, a decrease of 1,061 people (-2.7%) from the 2010 Census figure of 39,558, which itself reflected a decline of 959 residents (-2.4%) from the 2000 Census count of 40,517.
The city was incorporated on May 1, 1854, from portions of Egg Harbor Township and Galloway Township. It is situated on Absecon Island and borders the municipalities of Absecon, Brigantine, Egg Harbor Township, Galloway Township, Pleasantville, Ventnor City, and the Atlantic Ocean.
