Located just 14 miles northwest of Philadelphia, Bridgeport is a stone’s throw from Valley Forge National Historic Park. Incorporated in 1851, the tiny village of 422 acres had 500 residents living within its boundaries. In 1723, Swedish and Welsh immigrants settled along the Schuylkill River, with the Eastburn and Holstein families among the first to settle. Irish immigrants found work in Bridgeport as early as 1860, and Italian immigrants poured into Bridgeport in the 1890s, finding work in the quarries and along the railroads and canals. Through vintage photographs, Bridgeport celebrates the families and industries that have helped shape this borough..

In November 1933, the Socialist Party of Bridgeport, Connecticut won a stunning victory in the municipal election, putting slate roofer Jasper McLevy in the mayor's seat and nearly winning control of the city council. In "Bridgeport's Socialist New Deal, 1915-36", in paperback for the first time, Cecelia Bucki probes the factors that led to this electoral victory and its continuation, uncovering a legacy of activist unionism, business manipulation of local politics and taxes, and a growing debate over the public good. As a backdrop to the evolving national developments of the New Deal, this study stands at the intersection of political, labor, and ethnic history; illustrates the volatility of politics in the early depression years; and provides a penetrating new perspective on how working people affected urban politics in the inter-war era..

With a population of approximately 7,500, Bridgeport is the second largest city in Harrison County, next to Clarksburg It is perhaps best known as the birthplace of oil wildcatter and philanthropist Michael Late Benedum. The region’s airport and civic center were named for him. Bridgeport was also home to Joseph Johnson, the first governor (then of Virginia) west of the Allegheny Mountains. In 1815, he introduced a bill in the Virginia General Assembly to create Bridgeport. During the railroad’s heyday, the city became an important stop on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad between Clarksburg and Grafton. In more recent years, residents have worked together on numerous projects, including the Bridgeport Swimming Pool in the 1960s and the Bridgeport City Park. As the eastern terminus of Appalachian Development Highway Corridor D and with Interstate 79 less than a mile west of town, the city has grown. In 1982, the Meadowbrook Mall opened a short distance from the Bridgeport Country Club. The city boasts two grade schools, Simpson and Johnson Elementaries, as well as Bridgeport Middle School and Bridgeport High School, which has garnered county and state athletic titles..
