photographs dating from 1871 to the 1940s. These images bring to life the town's rich heritage--its Victorian downtown district, school "daze," special events, and faces forgotten and familiar. We see Cranford's origins as a sleepy river village dependent on farming and milling, and its growth as a suburb from the late nineteenth century to the end of World War II. Many of these remarkable pictures have never before been seen by the public, and the
authors have uncovered images and stories longforgotten, such as the town's African-American
baseball teams and efforts to make Cranford the state capital.
