Description

Watertown began as a small hamlet of three cabins located in a wilderness. In time it grew to become the county seat of Jefferson and; from the early 1800s through the mid-1900s; a major industrial and trade center in northern New York State. With more than 200 images; Watertown tells the fascinating history of this community; once known as the Garland City. This pictorial history looks back at a time when horse-and-buggy travel was a way of life; when crowds gathered to cheer for the returning troops; and when life seemed less hectic. Here are the Watertown public square; the first ten churches that were built in town prior to 1850; and the faces of schoolchildren-the ancestors of todays residents. Also in view are the early days of the Watertown Police Department; the industries that supplied jobs for thousands; the mighty Black River which powered these industries; and Thompson Park and the Roswell P. Flower Memorial Library-two gifts donated by benefactors who anticipated the communitys needs.
