Names of Shore Places
Puzzle the Historians

Brigantine, the sister island just
north Of the one on which Atlantic
City stands, got its name because
q brigantine was wrecked there,
back in the early 1700s.
A brigantine is one of the types of
sailing vessel; if it had been an
other type the resort might bear
the name Of Schooner, or Bark.
The early maps show settlement
Of Wrangleboro, a little north on
the mainland-but early histories
give no clue to what the wrangle
was about, nor what type Of people
took part in the wordy argument.
The place is absorbed in little Port
Republic.
Those are two reasons why stu
dents declare Atlantic county holds
something close to an American
record for hit-and-miss selection of
names.
Washington state, Minnesota and
Wisconsin have their rich lore Of
Indian names; California and Colo
RADIO names carry the story Of their
early Spanish explorers, and New
England points take the names Of
their early Colonial settlers or their
English home towns.
But around Atlantic City, says a
correspondent in the Philadelphia
Inquirer, historians have trouble
tracing even the source, to say moth
ing Of the motive, of some designa-
tions.
Most residents accept the legend
that Bargaintown traces its name
to the first local real estate enthusi-
asm; the folks thought their lots
were an excellent buy.
