Description

Aero view of Middletown, Connecticut, 1915 / T. M. Fowler, del.

A historic map reproduction of Middletown, CT, published by Hughes and Bailey in 1915. A thriving port during the 1700's, Middletown became the largest and most prosperous town in Connecticut, with a third of the population directly involved with maritime trade. Trade and port activity declined early in the 1800's, resulting from the effects of the strained relationship with the British leading up to the War of 1812. Middletown did not recover its maritime prominence after the War of 1812, but did turn its attention toward manufacturing throughout the nineteenth century, becoming a major supplier of guns to the U. S. government. The city was active in the abolitionism movement and was a hub along the underground railroad during the Civil War.

Jobs created by the continued industrialization brought waves of European immigrants arriving in the early 1900's. By 1910, the population of Middletown had grown to 21,000. This map was published the same year that the Middletown Garden Society was founded.
