Cape May City o più semplicemente Cape May (ufficialmente: City of Cape May) è una città e località balneare della costa meridionale del New Jersey (Stati Uniti d'America), facente parte della contea omonima e situata nell'omonima penisola (da cui prende il nome), dove si affaccia sulla baia del Delaware (Delaware Bay, Oceano Atlantico). Si tratta del centro abitato più meridionale del New Jersey[1][2], nonché di una delle più antiche stazioni balneari della costa atlantica degli Stati Uniti[1]; conta una popolazione di circa 3 500 abitanti[3].

Come stazione balneare, ha rappresentato una meta prediletta dall'alta società di New York e di Filadelfia[1] ed è stata frequentata anche da molti presidenti, quali James Buchanan, Ulysses S. Grant, Benjamin Harrison, Franklin Pierce, ecc.[1]

Geografia fisica

Cape May si trova nell'estremità meridionale della penisola omonima (oltre che - come detto - dello stato del New Jersey), di fronte alla costa del Delaware e a sud-ovest di Atlantic City.[2][4] Località limitrofe sono Cape May Point, West Cape May e North Cape May.[2]

Storia

La zona su cui sorge Cape May fu esplorata per la prima volta nel 1621 da Cornelius Mey per la Compagnia olandese delle Indie Occidentali.[1]

Nel 1876, la città di Cape May andò quasi completamente distrutta a causa di un incendio.[5] Ne seguì una ricostruzione in stile vittoriano senza pari negli Stati Uniti.[5]

Alla fine del XIX secolo, Cape May raggiunse la massima popolarità come stazione balneare esclusiva presso l'alta società.[1]

Altro luogo d'interesse è il Cape May County Park and Zoo, uno zoo che ospita circa 200 animali, tra cui alcune specie rare e protette.[1]
