"This is the fist comprehensive, in-depth history of this prominent Connecticut suburban community. It presents the town as it is today, and traces the roots of its unique personality through the people and turning points in the past the shaped its history. From the days of the original Massachusetts Bay colonists, through incorporation in 1835 and beyond, Westport has always symbolized the strong, New England Yankee traits of self-reliance and independence.
This well-documented journey into the past illuminates the special character and sense of place that is Westport, Connecticut. It offers the reader a keen insight into the unusual tapestry of life in this town, woven by a combination of colonial farmers, immigrants who built Westport, and celebrities from the arts, the professions, politics, and corporate America who have made this widely acclaimed town their home."--BOOK JACKET.
