The pictorial history and the comprehensive, informative, and often humorous captions which accompany them will delight, fascinate, and amuse young and old, resident and visitor alike. Cranford celebrates the 125th anniversary of its founding in 1996. To commemorate the event, two local historians, Robert Fridlington and Lawrence Fuhro, have joined forces to create a wonderful new history of the town. This book is a nostalgic look back at the town's roots, with over 200 fascinating 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 long forgotten, such as the town's African-American baseball teams and efforts to make Cranford the state capital.

I grew up in Cranford New Jersey and absolutely love this book. It is filled with photos and stories about the town the way it was way back when. The tow h. It is so nice to see the old as grown up since and is not anything like it was ways and things like my old Cleveland School, the Canoe Club and the downtown area as it was in the 40's and 50's. Great book for anyone wanting to visit Cranford many years ago. 5 Star Rating!!!!!
