Description

Positioned simply 14 miles northwest of Philadelphia, Bridgeport is a stone’s throw from Valley Forge National Historic Park. Incorporated in 1851, the tiny village of 422 acres had 500 residents living inside its boundaries. In 1723, Swedish and Welsh immigrants settled along the Schuylkill River, with the Eastburn and Holstein families some of the first to settle. Irish immigrants found work in Bridgeport as early as 1860, and Italian immigrants poured into Bridgeport within the Eighteen Nineties, finding work within the quarries and along the railroads and canals. Via vintage pictures, Bridgeport celebrates the families and industries that experience contributed to shaping this borough.
