Description

Bridgeport: 1900-1960 presents an enchanting look into the history of Bridgeport through vintage postcards from the city’s formative years. These vintage postcards depict the change and expansion in Bridgeport right through the 20th century, from the growth of the University of Bridgeport from a small junior college into an important university to the changes in transportation from the horse and buggy to early automobiles and trolley cars. Bridgeport’s waterfront played the most important role within the development of the city, drawing visitors and rich residents who built homes along the shore. Following the two world wars, the city saw a big population increase, and a building boom soon followed. Factories and homes were built, retail stores moved in, and recreational options increased to serve the wishes of the thousands of people that came to Bridgeport looking for employment.
