Download or read book Killingly Revisited written by Natalie L. Coolidge and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first volume, Killingly revealed the initial manufacturing emphasis in the town's villages. Killingly Revisited illustrates how the town survived after losing most of the textile industry, as it moved South, by actively seeking diversified commercial businesses. Within these pages, the town's fascinating past is displayed as newly acquired vintage views are coupled with information recently uncovered from the Killingly Historical and Genealogical Society's newspaper archives and other reference materials. In celebration of 300 years as an incorporated Connecticut town, the society is sharing photographs of Killingly's mills, businesses, buildings, churches, schools, and cemeteries. There have been losses from devastating fires that changed the face of Main Street. New streets and roads were added as modes of transportation changed. There are also new views of citizens at work and play.

Book excerpt: From its beginning as a town in 1708, Killingly's numerous waterways and falls were a strong influence in its future development. Sawmills and gristmills were built along the waterways, and the mill sites made nearby properties more suitable for manufacturing than for agricultural uses. Thus, Killingly grew up as a collection of small mill villages, each with its own churches, schools, stores, and tenements. With manufacturing so well established here, Killingly became the first Connecticut town to benefit from the Industrial Revolution when the area's textile industry was mechanized. Killingly tells the story of the town from its earliest days, tracing the origins of such villages as Ballouville, Dayville, Danielson, and Rogers. The development of these villages was made possible by the prudent investments and foresight of several early families, including the Days, Danielsons, and Alexanders. Many of the images in this collection date from 1840 to the mid-1900s and provide a rare glimpse into the lives of village residents, at work and at play. Also featured are some of Killingly's neighborhoods and buildings that no longer exist, having been destroyed by floods or rendered obsolete in the name of progress.
