Yes, you read that right. Charles K. Landis founded Sea Isle City after visiting Italy. Odd, but true. He bought the land after that Italy trip, and made Sea Isle a borough by 1880.
Some of those buildings from the 1880s are still around...on Landis Avenue, of course.
I'll have an update for you on this weekend's half marathon - hopefully by later today...
