From the mid-1800s through the late 1900s; life in South Orange was a mirror of events taking place on a national and global level. Evolutions in population; transportation; education; and culture played an important part in South Oranges growth from a small farming village to the bustling community it is today. For more than 150 years; the villages excellent road and rail infrastructure; salubrious climate; and close proximity to Manhattan has drawn residents from a wide range of backgrounds; interests; and talents. Today many South Orange residents enjoy the convenience of working in a bustling city and at the same time; living in late-19th- and 20th-century homes on streets illuminated by Victorian gaslights. These are just some of the factors that make South Orange a unique community.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Remembering old Berrien County through postcardsBy Chriss LyonSherry Arent Cawley has created this wonderful pictorial tour of old Berrien County. Michigan through the popular medium of postcards. This is a refreshing look at some of the well documented sights along with a glimpse of some rare views. I recommend this book for anyone wanting to take a trip back in time or anyone wanting a brief history of the area.
