{"product_id":"ansonia-derby-historical-society-9781531601645","title":"Ansonia","description":"The town of Ansonia is situated at the foot of Connecticut's Berkshire Hills, above the confluence of the Housatonic and Naugatuck Rivers. This manufacturing village was named for its founder, Anson Phelps, a businessman who played a prominent role in the community. Ansonia shares its earliest \u003cbr\u003ehistory with the neighboring town of Derby, of which it was a part until 1889. Ansonia has been called the Industrial Heart of the Naugatuck Valley. Yet, as you will see inside, its history is rich beyond its industry. Ansonia highlights the town's wonderful \u003cbr\u003eold homes and churches. This one town had 25 churches at one time. The book follows the town through good times as well as hard times, such as the Blizzard of 1888 and the Flood of 1955 and the redevelopment days that followed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Derby Historical Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531601642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531601645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Derby Historical Society","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44245294776575,"sku":"9781531601645","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2967072e-d2ef-4554-bca9-6e7e95525956.jpg?v=1693927221","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ansonia-derby-historical-society-9781531601645","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
