History
5
The Camden and Atlantic Land Company gave this area the name Ventnor in 1889, deriving it from a health resort on the Isle of Wright in the English Channel. In 1891, the Carisbrooke Inn was built on Harvard Avenue. This five-story hotel of over 300 rooms was the center of Ventnor seasonal social life until its clientele gradually built cottages of their own. Hence, a town was born. The city became incorporated in 1903.
