Reisterstown - Bok av Gayle Neville Blum - Inbunden

Reisterstown - Bok av Gayle Neville Blum - Inbunden

Before it was a colonial village, Reister's Town was home to tribes of the Susquehanna who lived and hunted plentiful wildlife amidst the dense primeval woods. Travelers journeyed on narrow Native American trails from remote areas through what is now Reisterstown while on their way to the nearby bustling harbor in Baltimore Town. Dirt roads afforded a tiresome trip, and a man's throat would easily become parched from the dust. John Reister, an enterprising German immigrant, was one of these early..

Eventually, that community would be designated as a division point along the line. The H&TC's arrival also brought growth and prosperity to other communities on the line, including Alma, Garrett, Palmer, and Ferris. It made its mark on the area. The Waxahachie Tap was the vision of many of that city's earliest settlers. Within a decade of its completion..

Montgomery's Historic Neighborhoods - Bok av Carole A King & Karren I Pell - Inbunden

Montgomery's Historic Neighborhoods - Bok av Carole A King & Karren I Pell - Inbunden

Montgomery's first neighborhoods were nestled close to downtown for convenient shopping and working. In 1887, the electric trolley system made living beyond the city limits feasible. The first streetcar suburb, Highland Park, was developed the same year. Although Centennial Hill, Cottage Hill, the Garden District, and the Old Line Street neighborhoods existed before the trolley, it spurred their growth. Capitol Heights and Cloverdale incorporated as separate cities by 1908. Cloverdale Idlewild developed..

Dunsmuir - Bok av Deborah Harton & Ron McCloud - Inbunden

Dunsmuir - Bok av Deborah Harton & Ron McCloud - Inbunden

In the 1880s, the Central Pacific Railroad labored through the rugged upper Sacramento River canyon to connect California with the far northwest. Where the canyon's steep walls open up to a view of snowcapped Mount Shasta, a railroad switching yard, a depot, a roundhouse, a turntable, and repair shops were constructed. Surrounded by virgin timber, rushing waters, and dramatic geologic formations, this railhead camp--named for a Canadian collier--grew. Completion of the rail line brought commerce..

Upper Saucon Township and Coopersburg - Bok av Kelly Ann Butterbaugh - Inbunden

Upper Saucon Township and Coopersburg - Bok av Kelly Ann Butterbaugh - Inbunden

Upper Saucon Township was established in 1753. Often called \the Crossroads\ because of its connections to the areas around it, the tracks of the North Pennsylvania Railroad awakened the small town of Center Valley in 1856. From there, the Liberty Bell trolley line was added, making transportation of goods and people even easier within the township. Milk trolleys ran daily, and mills lined the creeks running through the predominantly agricultural township. As the connections grew, so did the needs..

Fort Worth's Arlington Heights - Bok av Juliet George - Inbunden

On the prairie west of Fort Worth, British-born Humphrey Barker Chamberlin commissioned a model mansion, grand hotel, trolley line, lake, and waterworks in the early 1890s. He launched Chamberlin Arlington Heights as an opulent suburb reminiscent of his Capitol Hill enclave in Denver, then lost his overextended empire in the silver panic of 1893. Although several more well-to-do families established homes near those of the original \Heights pioneers,\ development progressed slowly. With the coming..

Seattle-Everett Interurban Railway - Bok av Kevin K Stadler & Cheri Ryan - Inbunden

Operating for 29 years, the Seattle-Everett Interurban Trolley traveled over 29 miles of rail carrying passengers and freight to nearly 30 stops along its line. In the first decade of the 1900s, the Boston electrical engineering firm of Stone and Webster had designs of building an interurban electric railway system that would eventually connect Olympia, Washington, and Vancouver, British Columbia.

Visitors were also attracted by the tremendous natural resources of \Sweet Auburn\ and tourism boomed in the nineteenth century, with people..

Alaska's Tanana Valley Railroads - Bok av Daniel L Osborne - Inbunden

Alaska's Tanana Valley Railroads - Bok av Daniel L Osborne - Inbunden

In a region desperate for transportation to rich, gold-bearing creeks, the narrow-gauge Tanana Mines Railroad was built over permafrost, bogs, and hills to carry miners and supplies in 1905. Reorganized as the Tanana Valley Railroad, this little line promised the survival of both gold mining and Fairbanks until Fairbanks's economic base broadened. The railroad, built with Klondike Gold Rush earnings, prospered for only a few years and was acquired by the Alaska Railroad. The narrow-gauge survived..

Aberdeen - Bok av Troy McQuillen - Inbunden

Aberdeen - Bok av Troy McQuillen - Inbunden

The Industrial Revolution, along with free land, created fierce competition among American railroad companies to connect the country with a web of track. Goods, as well as people, needed to be transported. The railroads would create towns, then profit from the sale of the land and transporting of people and goods. The plan worked brilliantly, as there were no other means of transportation--or roads--to these new communities. Aberdeen, platted in 1881, was known as an \end of line\ stop for several..

Colfax Township - Bok av Anita Price Davis, Mike Rhyne, m.fl. - Inbunden

Located at the Rutherford-Cleveland County line, Colfax Township was a response to the 1868 state mandate to divide North Carolina counties into townships. Colfax Township took its name from Schuyler Colfax, the 17th vice president of the United States (1869-1873). The 53.1 square miles of the township remain mainly rural, and most residents have lived here for five years or more. Such stability generates community pride and considerable participation in Big Days, the Colfax Free Fair, the Fiddler's..
