Trumbull, Connecticut, was a small community with a lush landscape spotted with farms and light industries before the era of World War II. After the war, many soldiers returned to the states and came to Trumbull looking for homes. The explosion of Trumbull's economic market caused much of the farmland to become housing developments to accommodate the veterans and their families. This volume of nearly two hundred images looks back at Trumbull during the quieter era between 1890 and 1940, before the town was flooded with the mad rush of people and businesses. These fifty years detail a history marked by the prosperous times of the early twentieth century, the pain and anguish of World War I, and the gloomy grip of the Depression. Small-town life comes alive in the faces and places of Trumbull, and these photographs and their stories take a reader back into a time that seems so much simpler than today's hustle and bustle.

Trumbull Revisited

By: Trumbull Historical Society

Incorporated in 1797, Trumbull, Connecticut, developed from a collection of farms and settlements in the area north of Stratford. Trumbulls neighborhoods reflect the varied identities of these early settlements. The Nichols area features homes dating as far back as the establishment of the Farm Highway, which was laid out in 1696 and remains the third-oldest thoroughfare in the state. In the now-forested Pequonnock Valley, a 19th-century rail bed ambles past the foundations of wool mills, paper mills, and gristmills that served the community through the 1800s. That same rail line carried thousands of fun seekers to the picnic pavilions, toboggan slide, and other attractions of Parlor Rock Amusement Park in the late 1800s. Just to the west of the valley, a small, surviving triangle of the Long Hill Green marks an area that once buzzed with the production of shirts, cigars, and carriages. Today, Trumbull continues to rediscover itself and frequently receives accolades as one of the states most desirable communities in which to live and raise a family.

Central Wyoming Railroads

By: Con Trumbull

Starting with the great migration along the Oregon Trail in the 1840s, central Wyoming has long been a transportation corridor of the western United States. Railroad tracks first worked their way into the region in 1886 with the arrival of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley Railroad, building westward from Douglas to Lander. In 1913, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad, after successfully building through the Wind River Canyon, began construction south and east through Casper to connect with its existing line at Orin Junction. Connecting central Wyoming to the outside world brought goods and people and allowed for the development of the oil fields, agriculture, industry, and tourism.
