Historic Map - Seymour, CT - 1879
Description
Beautiful reproduction of a hand colored bird's-eye view map of Seymour, CT, created and published by O. H. Bailey & Co. in 1879. Seymour was incorporated as a town in 1850. Industries began to cover the banks of the nearby Naugatuck River, using its swift brooks and tributaries to power their grist mills, corn mills and paper mills. The area produced cotton cloth, paper, furniture and tools. Railroads were shipping merchandise made in Seymour nationwide. Many new industries opened factories in, or near, Seymour. Austin Goodyear Day began producing a type of telegraph cable that could be used under the ocean, bringing clear intercontinental communications. The H. P. & E. Day Company produced hardened rubber pens and pencils. Later this would become the Bic Pen Company. Thomas James invented a method of producing polished copper and formed the New Haven Copper Company. In 1878 Seymour Manufacturing Company was founded, producing brass, German silver and copper wire for telephones and telegraphs.
The map features clearly labeled street names with lively scenes of railroad, pedestrian and carriage traffic. Included are inset illustrations of:
