President at AC, Mobilization & Martin & Lewis

Today in New Jersey history:

July 25, 1868: President Ulysses S. Grant arrived in Atlantic City for a three day visit.

July 25, 1917: The New Jersey National Guard was mobilized for World War I duty at Sea Girt, and subsequently traveled to Camp McClellan, Alabama. Most New Jersey National Guard units, along with National Guardsmen from Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, were assigned to the Twenty-ninth Division, which was organized at McClellan. The old New Jersey state identified units were reorganized and given new federal numerical designations, including the 113th and 114th Infantry Regiments, which still exist in the state’s National Guard organization.

July 25, 1946: Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis performed in their first show as a comedy team at Club 500 in Atlantic City.
