The City of Somers Point is in the eastern part of Atlantic County, southwest of Atlantic City.

Somers Point was once known as the Somerset Plantation and its settlement started around 1693. The Somers Mansion, with a commanding view of Somers Point’s harbor, was built in 1725. Somers Point was designated as a port of entry in 1791 and remained one until it was abolished in 1915.[22][23]
