Some of the braver spirits of that band ventured a little west and ONLY made the first scttlement in Connectlcut away from a navigable river. They found the land rich for farming and so when the little village was made a town in 1645 it ‘was called Farmington. [y ’ From Farmington people began to move out to what is now Stanley Quarter. Another settlement farther south was made in the Great Swamp. Near the present bound- ary between Berlin and New Britaln a fort was built of upright logs sharpened at the top. The early settlers of this region were not men to complain, but sometimes Wik when the snow was heavy, the trall was almost impassable, N and the good people of Great Swamp could not get to ‘/ \ the meeting house for weeks at a time. They finally Py sent in a petition to form a new Church Society and the \ M result was the Great Swamp Soclety organized in 1708, Lis continued until disagreements led in 1754 to the poen n of the parish into the Kensington Society and the h Britain Society. There were less than three hundred inhabitants in New Britain at that time, g o ! b After her whole-hearted participation in the Revolu- Size 36 in. high, 15 in. wide. Only 1 H'ma\r_v \\;ar and the lean hard years immediately follow- = : ing, New Britain, then a part of Berlin, began to prosper. to a customer. None sold to dealvrs. In 1810 her distinguished son Elihu Burritt was born. His accomplishments furnish a bright page in the City's history. He was later known as “The Learned Black- smith,” and his efforts for International peace and hrotherhood both here and abroad, together with his ef- forts in behalf of Ocean Penny Postage stamped him as an international character. He took an important part in each of the first four peace congresses. In 1839 a railroad was built between Hartford and New Haven. The population of New Britain at that time was only about fifteen hundred and. there was no prospect of this little parish becomiing an important eity. The first railroad to actually go through New Britain was con- structed in 1850 when the Providence, Hartford ani Tishkill line was built. The New Britain branch of the Ne rlt, New Haven & Hartford was built in 1869, In 1850 New Britain had grown to a population of 2029 and really began ifs history as a separate town in that year. In 1570, New Britaln, with a population of 9,840, became a city. In 1830 the population was not quite 4,000, Tn 1900 it had grown to more than 28,000. Since then the erowth of the city has been consistent and rapid, today numbering §0.000 inhabitants. (Exactly as Illustrated.) NEW BRITAIN'S PRINCIPAL INDUSTRIES 5.
