An historic map print
reproduction of New Haven, CT, published by O. H. Bailey in 1879. A
city with a rich colonial history, this map captures the New Haven as it
appeared fifteen years after the Civil War.
The local economy was
boosted by wartime purchases of industrial goods produced in New Haven,
including weapons made by the New Haven Arms Company, which would later
become the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. The Winchester Company
continued to manufacture arms in New Haven until 2006. Many of the
notable buildings from the plant shown on the map are today part of the
Winchester Repeating Arms Company Historic District.
New Haven
was prepared for the industrial revolution, being the home of Yale
University, which was founded there in 1701. Yale graduate Eli Whitney
remained in New Haven after leaving the university and began his
independent work there. He developed the cotton gin and established a
gun making factory in New Haven. The automatic revolver was invented by
Samuel Colt in Whitney's gun factory in 1836.
Following the
American Civil War, the population of New Haven doubled by the turn of
the century. A large influx of European immigrants arrived to work in
the factories, particularly immigrants from Italy. Today, about half of
the population of East Haven, West Haven and North Haven are of Italian
dissent, descendants of those immigrants who arrived in the latter part
of the 19th Century.
The map has been edited slightly to remove a
distracting dark fold line and minor margin repair.
