Английская Википедия:History of Stamford, Connecticut
Stamford, Connecticut was inhabited by Siwanoy Native Americans, prior to European colonization beginning in the mid-17th century. Stamford grew rapidly due to industrialization in the late-19th and early-20th century, and continued to grow rapidly throughout much of the mid-20th century. During the late-20th century, Stamford underwent a period of urban renewal which saw much redevelopment in its downtown. Stamford's population has continued to grow throughout the 21st century, with redevelopments in its downtown and the South End.
Colonial history
Stamford was known as Rippowam by the Siwanoy Native American inhabitants to the region,[1][2][3] and the very first European settlers to the area also referred to it that way.Шаблон:Citation needed On July 1, 1640, Captain Turner of the New Haven Colony signed an agreement to purchase the land comprising present-day Stamford, Darien, western New Canaan, and Pound Ridge and Bedford in present-day New York with Siwanoy Sagamores Wascussee and Ponus.[1] The land was acquired by the New Haven colony for 12 coats, 12 hoes, 12 hatchets, 12 glass mirrors, 12 knives, two kettles, and four fathoms of white wampum.[1][4] However, the Siwanoy parties to the agreement may not have fully understood the agreement, as that they did not buy nor sell land,[1] and linguistic differences may have prevented them from fully understanding the deal.[4] The deed was modified in 1655, 1662, and 1701, with each modification adding payments to the descendants of Ponus, but did not provide any clarifications as to the land deal itself.[4]
The first European colonists, Reverent Richard Denton of Wethersfield and his family, settled the area in mid-May 1641.[3] Later on in the spring, 29 Puritan families from Wethersfield moved to the area.[3][4][5] The group had formed "The Rippowam Company" on October 19, 1640, to purchase the area from the New Haven Colony, and to settle it under the New Haven Colony's jurisdiction.[4] The name of the settlement was changed to Stamford on April 6, 1642, after the town in Lincolnshire, England,[3][4] where more than 80% of New England's original English settlers hailed from.[4] Denton and his family, alongside 17 other families, would leave Stamford for Hempstead, on Long Island, in 1644.[4]
In 1642, Captain John Underhill settled in Stamford and the following year represented the town in the New Haven Colony General Court.
Stamford was included in the creation of a New Haven confederation called the United Colonies of New England, alongside New Haven, Guilford, Milford, as well as Southold on Long Island.[6] Shortly after the restoration of Charles II of England, in a session of the Connecticut General Court held on October 9, 1662, the former New Haven "plantations" of Stanford (sic), Greenwich, Guilford, and even Southold were to be recognized as Connecticut Colony towns with constables sworn in.[7]
During the 1640s, a mill was built on the Rippowam River, and a wooden meeting house was built.[4] The first public schoolhouse was built in Stamford in 1671, and has been described by a local historian as a "crude, unheated wooden structure only ten or twelve feet square".[8] It was built when settlers tore down their original meeting house, which they had outgrown after three decades, and used some of the timbers to put up a school near the Old Town Hall on Atlantic Square.[8] On the nearby common they built a new Шаблон:Convert meeting house, which also served as the Congregational church.[8]
As Stamford expanded throughout the late 17th century, people settled farther and farther from the settlement's center, and had to travel farther to access public services.[4] The predecessor to the Boston Post Road, originally called King's Highway or County Road, was built in 1673.[9] As a result, in 1680, people who settled in the far northern reaches of Stamford split off into the town of Bedford.[4] A treaty in 1683 between Connecticut and New York set an agreed-upon border Шаблон:Convert north of Stamford's main road, resulting in part of the settlement falling under New York's jurisdiction.[4]
Following the resignation of local Reverend John Bishop, Reverend John Davenport assumed the role of Stamford's spiritual leader in 1694.[4] Davenport, who ruled until his death in February 1731, governed in a conservative style, and under his rule, Stamford accepted few new inhabitants.[4] Following Davenport's death, the Congregational Church lost control over local town meetings, and in 1737, the Canaan and Middlesex Parishes split off from Stamford to form new settlements.[4] Further religious fractures emerged in subsequent years with the establishment of an Anglican church in Stamford in 1742, Baptist churches in 1773 and 1790, a Methodist church in 1788, and a New Light preacher resulting from the First Great Awakening.[4]
One of the primary industries of the small colony was merchandising by water, which was possible due to Stamford's proximity to New York.Шаблон:Citation needed
Revolutionary war
During the American Revolutionary War, many towns in close proximity to Stamford were invaded by the British, and British loyalists, who were common throughout neighboring New York, often came to Stamford to harass and loot pro-independence residents.[10] On 22 July 1781, during the American Revolutionary War, Stamford was raided by the British, and Fort Stamford was built as a result.[11]
19th century
Starting in 1825, Stamford was served by steamboat service to New York by the Stamford Steamboat Company.[9][12] The service ran three times a week, and carried local produce and about 500 passengers.[12]
The densely settled portion of Stamford incorporated as a borough in 1830.Шаблон:Citation needed
In 1838, William Betts founded Betts Academy, a private all-boys academy in Stamford, which operated until it burned in 1908.[8]
Train service began in Stamford in 1848, and regular service along the New Haven Line began on January 1, 1849.[9] The introduction of train service in Stamford improved access to the city, helped develop its industry, and attracted immigrants.[13] Stamford's population grew from about 5,000 in 1850 to 11,000 in 1880.[13] Stamford's first major wave of immigration originated largely from Ireland, and Irish immigrants worked in the city's mills, as day laborers, gardeners, and coachmen.[13] During this time, a sizeable Irish-American community called "Dublin" formed near the city's railroad tracks.[13] However, some of Stamford's Protestant residents displayed prejudice against the city's Irish-American community, and believed that they were subservient to the Pope.[13] A Catholic church, the Basilica of Saint John the Evangelist, was built in Stamford in 1851. The church relocated to a larger building along Atlantic Street that was completed in 1886.
Stamford's first school with defined grades, the Centre School, opened on Broad Street, near the location of Stamford's original schoolhouse, in 1852.[8] The original Centre School building, which was made of wood, burned, and was replaced by a brick building in 1867.[8]
A private all-girls school, called Catherine Aiken, opened in Stamford in 1855.[8] At one point Georges Clemenceau taught French at the school, and married a student from the school, Mary Plummer.[8] The school closed in the 1890s.[8]
By the 1860s, competition from train service forced steamboat service in Stamford to shutter.[12]
In 1873, Stamford's Town School Committee created Stamford High School, to be housed in a room of the Centre School.[8] Originally, students had to pass an examination to gain admission into the high school.[8]
King School, another private all-boys school, opened in 1876.[8] The school still exists in Stamford today, although it is now coeducational.
Starting in 1866, there had been discussions about creating a horse-drawn streetcar company to service Stamford, Connecticut.[14] A charter for such a company was secured in 1870, but it expired before any plans could be made.[14]
A new charter such a service was licensed in 1886, creating the Stamford Horse Railroad Company.[14] Beginning on January 31, 1887, horse-drawn streetcars began running in Stamford.[14] After going bankrupt in December 1888, the company was reorganized as the Stamford Street Railroad Company, and received approval to run electric streetcars.[14]
In 1890, a local chapter of the Ancient Order of Hibernians was established in Stamford, named after Irish-American Civil War general Philip Sheridan.[15]
In 1893, the central and denser portions of Stamford incorporated as a city.[16]
Beginning in 1894, electric streetcars began servicing Stamford.[9] Horse-drawn streetcars were phased out during the 1890s.[14]
The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad acquired a controlling stake in the Stamford Street Railroad Company on or about April 1, 1895.[17]Шаблон:Rp
In 1896, a dedicated building for Stamford's high school was built, located on Forest Street.[8]
Starting in the late 19th century, New York residents built summer homes on the shoreline, and even back then there were some who moved to Stamford permanently and started commuting to Manhattan by train, although the practice became more popular later.Шаблон:Citation needed
20th century
On Memorial Day, 1901, a cannon from the Шаблон:USS was placed in West Park (now Columbus Park) as a memorial to Civil War veterans. Cast at West Point in 1827, the cannon had also been used on the Шаблон:USS. The artillery piece sat in the park until 1942 when it was hauled away for scrap.[18]
In 1904, the Town Hall burnt down. A new building in the Beaux Arts style was constructed from 1905 (when the cornerstone was laid) to 1907 in the triangular block formed by Main, Bank and Atlantic streets. The building was eventually named Old Town Hall and held the mayor's office until about 1961, when Mayor William Kennedy moved to the Municipal Office Building which formerly stood further south on Atlantic Avenue. Nearly all municipal offices were moved to 888 Washington Boulevard in 1988.[19]
On September 26, 1905, the Consolidated Railway Company (the Connecticut Company) acquired the assets of the Stamford Company.[20]Шаблон:Rp
On February 19, 1919, at the site of the present Cove Island Park, in the Cove section of Stamford, the Cove Mill factory of the Stamford Manufacturing Company burned to the ground in a spectacular conflagration.
State Trade School, a vocational school now known as J.M. Wright Technical High School, opened in 1919 on Schuyler Avenue.[8]
The current building of Stamford High School, located on Strawberry Hill Avenue, was completed in 1928.[8]
Stamford is the birthplace of the electric dry shaver industry. By 1940 Colonel Jacob Schick employed almost 1,000 workers at the Schick Dry Shaver Company on Atlantic Street.[21]
Ku Klux Klan in Stamford
The Ku Klux Klan, which preached a doctrine of Protestant control of America and suppression of blacks, Jews and Catholics, had a following in Stamford in the 1920s. Across the state, the Klan's popularity peaked in 1925 when it had a statewide membership of 15,000. Stamford was one of the communities where the group was most active in the state, although New Haven and New Britain were also centers of support.[22]
During the 1924 election, one of the largest Klan meetings in the state took place in Stamford. Grand Dragon Harry Lutterman of Darien organized the meeting, attended by thousands of Klansmen.[22]
The Stamford Republican Party used its Lincoln Republican Club as a front for all Klan activities in the area. The Stamford Advocate (as The Advocate of Stamford was then known) published an advertisement signed by local Democrats (who relied on the Catholic vote) protesting the meeting. The Klan published an advertisement in response, noting the "un-American" names of some of those who signed the Democrats' statement.[22]
By 1926, the Klan leadership in the state was divided, and it lost strength, although it continued to maintain small, local branches for years afterward in Stamford, as well as in Bridgeport, Darien, Greenwich and Norwalk.[23]
New Deal era
Stamford's electric trolley services ceased on November 11, 1933, when the last streetcar left Stamford for good at 11:35pm.[24]Шаблон:Rp[25] This end was driven in part by increased competition from buses.[9]
Due to the proliferation of automobiles in Stamford and elsewhere in the region beginning at the turn of the century, work began on the Merritt Parkway in the north of Stamford in 1934.[9] The Merritt Parkway was opened in 1938.[9]
Downtown redevelopment
On April 15, 1949, the central portion of Stamford, which was incorporated as a city, and the peripheral portion of Stamford, which was incorporated as a town, consolidated into one single city.[16]
During the 1950s, as traffic continued to grow along the Post Road and elsewhere, work began on the Connecticut Turnpike, which was locally part of Interstate 95. In 1956, Interstate 95, which runs through Stamford from west to east, was opened.[9]
UConn Stamford opened in 1951 as a two-year college.[8]
Rippowam High School opened on High Ridge Road in 1961.[8] A third high school, Westhill High School, opened on Roxbury Road in 1971.[8]
By the mid-1950s downtown Stamford had fallen prey to urban blight.Шаблон:Citation needed The town leaders at the time sought federal and state funding to launch a revitalization effort that would restore the core of the city to a vital urban center.Шаблон:Citation needed On January 27,Шаблон:Citation needed 1960, the City of Stamford and its redevelopment arm, the Urban Redevelopment Commission, entered into a contract with the Stamford New Urban Corporation, a subsidiary of the locally based and nationally active construction contractor the F.D. Rich Company that would lead to a dramatic altering of the face of downtown Stamford.Шаблон:Citation needed The Rich Company, led by Frank D. Rich Jr., Robert N. Rich and Chief Legal Counsel Lawrence Gochberg, actively building in 25 of the 50 United States at the time, was selected out of a field of 10 developers vying for the opportunity to become the city's sole redeveloper of the Шаблон:Convert section of the central downtown area known as the Southeast Quadrant.Шаблон:Citation needed More than $100 million in Federal, State and city funds were invested in a massive property acquisition, relocation, demolition and infrastructure creation program that paved the way for one of the most sweeping urban renewal efforts ever carried out in the United States.Шаблон:Citation needed The redevelopment was highly contentious since its inception.[26][27] The plan involved eminent domain takings, the demolition of nine city blocks, the relocation of 110 families and 400 businesses.[26] A group of Stamford residents unsuccessfully tried to use legal action to prevent it from taking place.[26] Following delays, construction commenced in 1968 with the St. Johns Towers, three round apartment towers designed by Victor H. Bisharat.[28] Upon its completion, the St. Johns Towers contained 360 apartments and originally served as relocation housing for some of the displaced residents.Шаблон:Citation needed Most of the deteriorated buildings were razed to make way for the new downtown, resulting in a lack of historic buildings and a downtown that looks more contemporary and modern as compared to some its New England counterparts.Шаблон:Citation needed
During the 1960s and 1970s, a large number of corporations relocated offices to Stamford and other more suburban environments, and F.D. Rich responded by building large quantities of office buildings.[27][29] F.D. Rich opened High Ridge Park, a large suburban office complex near North Stamford, in 1967.[26] The complex was designed by Victor H. Bisharat.[26] In 1973, F.D. Rich completed construction on the headquarter building for telecom company GTE,[30] and One Landmark Square, both in downtown and also designed by Bisharat.[28] The completion of the GTE World Headquarters in 1973 became the catalyst for downtown office development, setting an example for other corporations seeking a less expensive labor pool, a more favorable income tax structure and lower operating costs.Шаблон:Citation needed In 1977, F.D. Rich built the 505-room Stamford Marriott.[31] The building was designed by Victor H. Bisharat, and has a revolving restaurant overlooking Long Island Sound at the top.
Many of F.D. Rich's constructions during this time drew heavy criticism for being autocentric and hostile to pedestrians. Many of the buildings along Tresser Boulevard, parallel to Interstate 95, had little but street-level lobby spaces, garage entrances and exits accessing the street, although they presented a modern, glittering glass facade to travelers along the highway.Шаблон:Citation needed Tresser Boulevard became notorious among many architecture and urban design critics.Шаблон:Citation needed These pedestal-style buildings feature above-ground parking structures, as the high water table in the area prohibited the development of multiple levels of underground parking.Шаблон:Citation needed These podiums for the office buildings also provide the opportunity for a view over the adjacent highway embankment to the south.Шаблон:Citation needed The lack of retail along the Tresser Blvd. frontage is attributable to a prohibition on retail being developed in this area by the Planning Board of the City who did not want to dilute the retail existing and planned elsewhere in the renewal area.Шаблон:Citation needed
F.D. Rich's leadership has stated that the company intentionally designed much of the area to be actively inaccessible to pedestrians, and continued to defend such practices even decades after the construction of these buildings. Robert Rich, the then-President of F.D. Rich told a New York Times reporter in 1985 in response to criticism over its pedestrian-hostile designs that ''Downtown Stamford isn't going to be another Madison Avenue", "but what we are seeing here is a new kind of environment. I think it's a big success".[27] He added that "it would have been nice to make a pedestrian paradise, but we discovered early on that we had no ability to do that. The corporations demand parking galore. If they are going to move from New York, they want a suburban, campuslike setting. And if they are coming to downtown Stamford, they want access by automobile and only automobile".[27] In 1999, Robert Rich told another New York Times that ''the streets were never meant to be for pedestrians'', and that ''GTE came here because they were bombed in New York. Crime was a problem in the city. That's why the buildings were designed to be impenetrable".[26] By the mid-2000s, F.D. Rich began making alterations to their properties in an effort to make it more accessible for people using modes of transportation other than private cars.[32]
In 1980 F.D. Rich completed 10 Stamford Forum, a Шаблон:Convert office building designed by Steven M. Goldberg of the New York office of Mitchell/Giurgola.[33]
In 1980, Stamford released plans for a new train station, construction of which began in 1983.[9] The station, known as the Stamford Transportation Center, opened in 1987.[9]
The Stamford Town Center shopping mall, which was built by F.D. Rich and Taubman Centers, was opened in 1982. Other major buildings completed by F.D. Rich during the 1980s included 4 Stamford Forum (designed by César Pelli), 6 Stamford Forum (designed by Arthur Erickson), and 8 Stamford Forum (designed by Hugh Stubbins).[28] Later in the decade, F.D. Rich built 300 Atlantic Street (designed by Aldo Giurgola), and 177 Broad Street.[28]
During a 42-day strike among Metro-North workers in 1983, various private shuttle and bus services from Stamford to New York City and elsewhere emerged, although some disbanded after the end of the strike.[34]
During the late 1980s and 1990s, low real estate prices severely slowed new construction projects in Stamford's downtown,[31] the city was hit with a wave of corporate relocations out of Stamford,[28] and prominent retail outlets closed.[28] During this time, F.D. Rich was heavily indebted, and had to surrender about 80% of its real estate portfolio to banks.[31] In 1994, Stamford's South End was designated as an "enterprise zone", which aimed to draw development by offering tax breaks and credits.[30]
The city's economy rebounded by the late 1990s, fueled by a rebound in office occupancy rates, and an increasing diversification of the downtown's economy.[28] A large trading floor for Swiss Bank Corporation was constructed, UConn Stamford rebuilt its campus, the city's Palace Theater was expanded, and a number of large apartment complexes were built.[28] F.D. Rich began work on the Majestic movie theater on Summer Street.[28] The city and developers also began considering pedestrians when creating new developments.[28]
21st century
On September 11, 2001, nine city residents lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks, all at the World Trade Center: Alexander Braginsky, 38; Stephen Patrick Cherry, 41; Geoffrey W. Cloud, 36; John Fiorito, 40; Bennett Lawson Fisher, 58; Paul R. Hughes, 38; Sean Rooney, 50 (whose widow, Beverly Eckert, became a leading 9/11 family activist); Randolph Scott, 48; and Thomas F. Theurkauf Jr., 44. A total of 65 Connecticut residents lost their lives on that day.[35]
In 2003, the Stamford Transportation Center was renovated.[9]
In 2005,Шаблон:Citation needed the company opened its 115-room Courtyard by Marriott Hotel at the corner of Summer and Broad Streets.
One of the biggest fires in Stamford's history occurred April 3, 2006 in the South End. The fire started in a piano store in a building that was part of the former Yale & Towne lock factory complex. It spread to a neighboring building housing antiques dealers. Eight businesses were destroyed and others were damaged. City fire marshals never determined the cause, but said an unfixed sprinkler system helped the fire spread. Firefighters used 1 million gallons (Шаблон:Convert) of water in three hours and then had to pump water from Long Island Sound when the water mains ran out. Dark mushroom clouds formed over the scene, visible for miles along Interstate 95. About 200 residents from homes on Pacific and Henry streets were evacuated. In July 2006, more than 100 antiques dealers filed a class-action lawsuit against the owner, Antares Real Estate Services of Greenwich.[36][37]
In the early afternoon of August 3, 2006, one of the hottest days of the year when air conditioning raised electricity consumption, downtown Stamford experienced a blackout after underground electricity cables on Summer Street overheated and caught fire.Шаблон:Citation needed Many offices were forced to close down. A concert (part of the Alive@Five series) with Hootie & the Blowfish continued at Columbus Park early that evening, but many restaurants had to throw out their food beforehand.Шаблон:Citation needed
On October 11, 2007, a freak storm dumped Шаблон:Convert of rain in about four hours in Stamford and nearby communities of New Canaan, Darien and Norwalk. The storm flooded streets and basements and caused the loss of electricity to 700 homes, with about 20 people needing to be evacuated from their cars and 40 others removed from their homes to an emergency shelter. The Federal Emergency Management Agency later said 41 homes in Stamford (and 11 in Darien and New Canaan) had about $167,000 in damage. City sewers and drains were clogged. The city was sued in 2009 by homeowners who asserted that a city employee failed to start a pumping station on Dyke Street soon enough, but a city lawyer called the event a "100-year storm" that simply overwhelmed municipal resources.[38]
F. D. Rich, with partners Donald Trump and Louis R. Cappelli, built the Trump Parc Stamford, a 170-unit, 34-story condominium tower which was the tallest building in the city at the time of its opening in 2009, eclipsing One Landmark Square by more than Шаблон:Convert in height.Шаблон:Citation needed
In 2012, Stamford's population officially eclipsed Hartford's as Connecticut's third-largest city.[39] Much of Stamford's population growth during the 2000s and 2010s came from Harbor Point, a major development in Stamford's South End.[39]
In 2016, Stamford's oldest extant house, the Hoyt-Barnum House, was relocated from Bedford Street, near downtown, to a location next to the Stamford History Center in North Stamford.
In 2018, the Cappelli Organization opened up the first of its two Atlantic Station towers, next to the United States Post Office–Stamford Main, which hosts 325 residential units and is Шаблон:Convert tall.[40] The second tower was opened on July 29, 2021.Шаблон:Cn
In 2020, Stamford's population surpassed New Haven as Connecticut's second-largest city.[41]
