Hampton Beach, one of the more well-known beach towns in New England, had already become a popular destination for area residents by the turn of the 20th century. Trolley lines and railroads to the beach were built in the mid 1800s. The famed Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom opened in 1899.

This rink would be completely destroyed by sunset that day.
