CAPE HENLOPEN CITY
1891
Baltimore Sun,
Tuesday, June 30, 1891: Rehoboth Beach, Delaware
A seaside resort.
Excellent fishing and unsurpassed advantages await you.
Rehoboth Beach location
is used for the reason that Uncle Sam has not yet been
made familiar with An
Act by the last Delaware Legislature which changed the name of
the charming resort by the
sea to that of Cape Henlopen City. The post office is still using
Rehoboth. The same Act
of Legislature dissolved the charter of the Rehoboth Beach
Camp Meeting Association,
which for years held sway there. The city is now run as are
other well regulated
cities by it's people. It is the hope that Cape Henlopen City
will
spring to the front and
become one of the most popular resorts of the Atlantic Coast.
There are but few
Baltimore area residents who now know that there is within
a convenient and
refreshing journey, a so delightful resort as Cape Henlopen
City.
It is true, however,
that many have already made home life by the sea most pleasant
and erected cottages where
they dwell during the heated season most comfortable.
Surf bathing is equal to
the best and the salt water offers other luxuries such as
fish, terrapins, crabs and
such, while the area farmers bring to the doors of the cottages and
hotels and restaurants a bountiful supply of fresh vegetables
and fruits. The well waters are
tested by analysis and
found to be pure.
Fishing from the surf is
excellent as sea trout of large size are caught by hook and
line as are rock, perch
and others in season. The Rehoboth Bay has fishing, sailing and
many other water sports of
the summer.
The hotels have opened
and are receiving guest as we speak. The Pennsylvania
Railroad serves the beach
at fair rates for the five hour run from Baltimore.
