history

the meeting found for the first time to 7. and 8. September 1921 in Atlantic town center as two-day beauty competition instead of. It was delivered however still under the title Atlantic town center Pageant. Only as the meeting in the following year its name too measure America changed, became also the Vorjahressiegerin Margaret Gorman quasi retroactively as if measure America tituliert. A goal of the meeting was it among other things also to hold tourists also after the laboratory Day in the city.

In the first decades of the meeting the high point was the appearance participant inside in the bathing suit. When the Siegerin of the yearly 1951, refused Yolande Betbeze, in such a manner easily beschürzt for photos to posieren, the bath fashion manufacturer Catalina from the group of the sponsors separated and brought two own competitions into being, beside which choice to measure the USA also to measure university verses, with which the most beautiful woman of the world should be determined.

Since 1954 will the choice to measure America country-wide in the television to transfer. The competition reached the high point of its popularity into the 1960er years, when it ranked annually among the transmissions with the highest switching on ratios at all. Bert park , which led each time from 1954 to 1979 by the transmission, became famous and the song “There She Is” anstimmte, when the freshly gekürte measure America the Showtreppe down-floated.

long ones prevailed expressed a conservative role sample forwards: A goal of the Titelaspirantinnen should be main it of finding a husband and it a devoted wife of being. Also were impossible women black into the 1970er years from the competition, which 1968 for the establishment of the competition measure Black America led. In this time the beauty competitions turned out also into the criticism on the part of the erstarkenden toolism; that measure America - competition reacted to the fact that it the personality and the intellect of the Mrs. more meaning to measure out praised. 1974 provided the choice of Rebecca Ann King for waves in the press - she had expressed herself before for the right to abortion. The ratingses nevertheless constantly sank. 1979 became parks to dismiss, in order to taper the transmission, but helped also this prescription not much.

After the number of the viewers for the first time fell below 2005 the mark of ten million, the transferring television station decided ABC to take the choice from the program. The supervisors informed themselves thereupon with the transmitter Country music Television, which now the meeting transfers. The traditional date in September was given up thereby; the next choice is on the 26. January 2006 set. Also will it no more in the steeped in tradition do not board-mill resound in Atlantic town center to be delivered, but in Vegas read.
