The Northside was a historically African American neighborhood confined within an area of around one mile in the west side of Atlantic City. It was a neighborhood subject to the racial discrimination tactic of redlining, where investors did not invest in an area due to its demographics and prevented buildup of generational wealth. This led to many businesses and housing complexes being built by the government and wealthy black investors in the area, such as Leroy "Pop" Williams.^[2]

At its height, the Northside was a bustling neighborhood with many businesses located on Baltic and Mediterranean avenues. The Missouri Avenue Beach, nicknamed "Chicken Bone Beach" and Club Harlem were two of the most iconic attractions in the District. With the construction of the Stanley Holmes Village and other projects, more and more historic apartments were demolished.^[3]
