1951 Map of Bridgeport

About this map

The industrial and maritime core of Bridgeport is captured in detail shortly after mid-century, showing a densely developed coastline where the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad cuts through established neighborhoods like East Bridgeport and Black Rock. The city's social infrastructure is evident through an extensive network of educational institutions, ranging from local landmarks like Bassick High Sch to the expanding campus of the University of Bridgeport near Seaside Park.
