Hugh Thomas Crop-
per Jr. was appointed to
serve out the term of
Mayor Daniel Trimper
Jr., who had resigned on
May 15, 1959, to join the
Worcester County Com-
missioners.
Cropper went on to
win several elections and
served as mayor through-
out the 1960s. During the
March Storm of 1962, he
was instrumental in ob-
taining the state aid that
rebuilt the Boardwalk
and got the town back on
its feet.
Cropper spearheaded
the 1965 annexation to
the Delaware line and
extended the water and
sewer lines that enabled
the development of
North Ocean City. Crop-
per also worked to make
the Ocean City Conven-
tion Hall a reality.
Remembered as one
of Ocean City's greatest
mayors, today the Inlet
parking lot is named in
his honor.
