Atlantic Beach Hotel in 1919.
In 1900 Henry Flagler assembled the Mayport branch of the barns and erected a station north of where the Adele Grage Cultural Center is presently located. Soon afterwords Flagler assembled a large hotel called the Continental Hotel on the barns line between Pablo Beach (Jacksonville Beach) and Mayport.
In 1913 the barns sold most of the territory to the Atlantic Beach Corporation which then began paving streets, installing lights, and water and sewage lines.
In that same year the Continental Hotel changed its name to the Atlantic Beach Hotel. However, amid World War I citizens were afraid to come to the coast and the Atlantic Beach Corporation went bankrupt.
To make matters worse the Atlantic Beach Hotel burned down on September 20, 1919.
The Town of Atlantic Beach was incorporated in 1926 and the first charter was adopted in 1929.
