Coney Island was settled by Dutch settlers in the 17th century. It became a popular beach and amusement park area starting in the 19th century. Once air and auto travel became more affordable, Coney Island lost it’s luster as city dwellers were able to visit other, more far off locals. After falling into disrepair during the 1980’s, Coney Island has made a major comeback with the opening of Luna Park, more rides, restaurants, beach bars. and independent attractions.
