  1. I think that the first boardwalk was a predecessor of the modern sidewalks along the city streets in front of the stores... it kept the people's shoes and boots out of the mud and dust of the dirt streets...

    http://amoymagic.com/boardwalk.htm is a link to the first boardwalk, but I think it is along a beach...


  2. A boardwalk is a wooden path for pedestrians and sometimes vehicles. Boardwalks are often found along beaches, but they are also common as paths through wetlands, coastal dunes, and other sensitive environments. Boardwalks along foreshores are known as foreshoreways. A boardwalk along a river is often known as a riverwalk and a boardwalk along an oceanfront is often known as an oceanway. Although boardwalks can be found around the world, they are especially common along the East Coast of the United States in North America, where they have many of the functions of a city street and are often tourist attractions themselves. An early boardwalk was designed in New Jersey and opened June 26, 1870, in Atlantic City. [1]
