Historic Map - Anniston, AL - 1888
Description
Bird's eye view of Anniston, Ala. 1888. Drawn and published by E. S. Glover. Shober & Carqueville Litho. Co.
Reproduction bird's-eye view map of Anniston, Alabama looking southwest, drawn and published by Eli Sheldon Glover & Co. in 1888. Rich mineral deposits made Anniston an important asset to the south during the American Civil War. An iron furnace had been established that was destroyed by Union troops in 1865. In 1872 the furnace was rebuilt on a grander scale by The Woodstock Iron Company, and a town was planned. The town's initial name was "Woodstock", but was soon after dubbed Anniston, after Annie Scott Tyler, the wife of a railroad president, General Daniel Tyler. Nicknamed "Model City", Anniston's economy was mostly based on the iron, steel and clay pipe industry. The town booster map from 1888 claims: "Choice Business and Residence Lots in this new and thriving Model City of the South on reasonable terms, by the Anniston City Land Company" and "Special Inducements offered to Manufacturing Enterprises and all information about the City cheerfully given. Correspondence solicited. Anniston City Land Company".
The map features clearly labeled street names and shows scenes of pedestrian, carriage and railroad traffic.
