New Haven, a Great Manufacturing City

Today we think of New Haven as an educational, financial, and transportation hub, but for much of the 19th and 20th centuries it was also an industrial powerhouse. This presentation explores the origins of manufacturing in New Haven and the evolution of the city’s numerous manufacturers, large and small, successful and short-lived, those that have disappeared from view, and those that have left impressive physical remains. Behind it all we ponder the question of what relevance (if any) industrial history has for people living in the Information Age. The presentation is given by historian Bruce Clouette, who has been researching and writing about Connecticut history and historic sites since 1975. A contributor to the Trust’s book “Carriages and Clocks, Corsets and Locks,” he received a PhD in History from UConn and still lives in Mansfield. Lecture made possible through the support of the Herzan Lecture Fund. Originally presented at a New Haven Preservation Trust online event on January 23, 2022.
