Originally known as the Union District or Langdon�s Quarter; the village at the western end of Farmington was officially named Unionville by the U.S. Post Office in 1834. Settling along the banks of the Farmington River; Unionville�s early residents were an industrious group; diverting water into canals to power numerous family-run mills and factories and producing a host of manufactured goods. Although smaller than the neighboring industrial cities of New Britain and Bristol; Unionville gained an extraordinary manufacturing prominence in the Farmington Valley. Through carefully preserved vintage photographs from the Unionville Museum�s collections and from private sources; Unionville chronicles the village�s resilient spirit throughout its many transformations.

A Historically Moving Wake Up Call.By Nicolette82rAs an Images Of America book. this one touched me deeply. Plus the paperback was cheaper than the e-book. This tome is in a way an in-depth look into the Triangle Factory Fire that took place on March 25. 1911. They are amazing before-during-after photos of the building. inside and out. As well as the public court reform that brought about changes in the industrial workplace. Even though it read like a textbook. I recommend this book for anyone researching New York history.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy DavidGreat
