With extensive research using maps, town meeting records, city directories, and land records Town Historian Jane Bouley examines the origin and history of Branford, Connecticut roads and the relevance of the street names. The scope of Branford's history as an 18th century farming community, during the industrial revolution bringing an influx of European immigrants in the 19th and 20th centuries, and finally as a suburban community after World War II can be viewed through the development of its streets.
The book includes an alphabetical listing of Branford streets, resources, an appendix, and more than 100 vintage photographs.
