Description

View of Clinton, Connecticut 1881.

A colorful historic map of Clinton, CT in 1881. Now home to the Clinton Historical Society's "Buell Tool Museum" and the "Clinton Historical Society Museum", the city of Clinton was named for New York's Governor DeWitt Clinton in 1838, when the town formally divided itself from the northern town of Killingworth.

In 1701, the Reverend Abraham Pierson, was chosen as rector for the newly granted charter for the founding of a college in Connecticut. Classes were held in his Clinton parsonage. This school was later to move to Saybrook, then to New Haven, eventually becoming Yale University.

A charming illustration of the Victorian "Morgan School and Principal's Residence" appears in the left lower portion of the map. On the right side, is an illustration of "Bacon House", a summer resort hotel, complete with horse-drawn carriage traffic.
