In 1867 James Parker purchased a 400-tree, 20-acre apple orchard on the Ohio River. Sold in 1867 it was renamed Coney Island to hopefully attract tourists just like the one in NYC has over the years.
Seabreeze was known through the early part of the 20th century as the "Coney Island of the West." The park’s original name was Dreamland for approximately thirty years during the post-World War II era
