Description

In 1905, the German religious settlement of Economy changed endlessly from what its charismatic founder had planned in 1824. Built to await the Second Coming, Economy was once passed from the hands of the moribund Harmony Society to the American Bridge division of United States Steel Corporation. The brand new owners renamed town Ambridge. As the mill The city burst into life, the population spiked from 600 to approximately 37,000 by 1945. Inevitably, Ambridge felt the collapse of big steel. Within the 1750s, this land along the Ohio River held Log The city, which was once a meeting place for Colonial and Native American leaders. Later there was once Legionville, where Gen. Anthony Wayne trained American troops all the way through the early Indian wars. This was once followed by the general home of a utopian society and one of the most largest mill complexes of the twentieth century. Through vintage photographs, Ambridge chronicles the various history and evolution of this community.
