Description

City of Norwich, Conn. 1876. C. H. Vogt, lith. Printed by J. Knauber & Co.

An historic map print reproduction of Norwich, CT, drawn and published by O. H. Bailey in 1876. A city with a rich colonial history, Norwich was originally founded in 1659 by a group of settlers from Old Saybrook, led by Major John Mason and Reverend James Fitch. Nine years later a wharf was built at Yantic Cove. A public landing built in 1694 at the head of the Thames River made it possible to offload goods at the harbor. The roads that served between the port and the town, the East and West Roads, later became Washington Street and Broadway.

Large mills and factories sprang up along the three rivers that flow into the city: the Yantic, the Shetucket and the Quinebaug. The Thames River flows out from the harbor, south to Long Island Sound. The developed factories and shipping port enabled Norwich to be instrumental in supplying soldiers with ships and munitions during the American Revolution. The notorious Benedict Arnold was born in Norwich.

This beautifully colored map captures the city during the early Industrial Revolution. In addition to the usual references, the map includes a listing of city officials from 1876 as well as 1784. Some discoloration is evident, but only adds to its character and charm.

Map includes inset photos and illustrations of the following notable buildings:

Norwich Lock Manufacturing Co.
Court House
Hislop, Porteus & Mitchell, Dry Goods
First National Bank
Norwich Bleaching & Calendering Co.
