History of Waterbury, Connecticut / History of towns in United States
Country: United States
State: Connecticut
County: New Haven
City: Waterbury
Population (2010):
• Total 110,366
• Total 109,307 (US: 240th) (2014)
• Density 3,872.5/sq mi (1,495.2/km2)
Waterbury, the seat of New Haven County, is situated on the Naugatuck River, 21 miles from New Haven. It has been called the "Brass Center of the World."
Waterbury was purchased from the Indians by residents of Farmington in 1674. They started a new community in 1677 which they named Mattatuck, changed to Waterbury when the town was incorporated in 1686. It was chartered as a city in 1853; in 1901, city and town were consolidated.
Waterbury became famous in the 19th century for the manufacture of brass items. Its brass industry can be traced to 1802. The Waterbury Mint, owned by the Scovill Manufacturing Company, produced planchets (blanks for coins), which the U.S. Mint used to produce coins for an assortment of foreign countries.
In 1878, the Waterbury Watch Company was organized for the explicit purpose of producing cheap watches. These watches gained a reputation for shoddy workmanship, so the company abandoned the brand and renamed itself the New England Watch Company. It was later incorporated into the company that became Timex. A visit to Timexpo provides a look into a century and a half of watch making in Waterbury.
Waterbury's two hospitals are Waterbury Hospital and St. Mary's Hospital. Waterbury hospital opened in 1890 in a Victorian mansion overlooking the city. The cornerstone of St. Mary's was laid in 1907 and the hospital was dedicated two years later. It was founded by the Sisters of St. Mary's of Chambery.
Post College, a regional business college, was founded in 1890. In 1990, it affiliated itself with the worldwide Teikyo Group and is now known as Teikyo Post University. The University of Connecticut has operated a campus in Waterbury for about half a century.
The Railroad Museum of New England operates the Naugatuck Railroad between Thomaston and Waterbury. The Golden Age of Trucking Museum displays exhibits from the history of trucking, with an emphasis on the 1950's. The Mattatuck Museum, located on the Green in central Waterbury, provides highlights from Waterbury's three centuries of history.

I grew up in North Vancouver, Canada in a new develpment called Windsor park. At that time (early 60's) there were only a few streets, We were on Plymouth Drive but the house behind us was on Hartford Cresecent. So it was more than interesting to find out I'm a direct descendent of William Kelsey, one of the Hooker 100.
Bancroft tower, not a bad 'gift' from one man to another.
Signed up in the Navy in that flat iron building January 1958!
Please do a video of the history of Greenfield, Massachusetts.
It would be worth watching if it didn’t have stupid music !
Now the only good thing about New Haven is the pizza
More historique in ct
I used to love going to forest park,i remember when tower square was baystate west,i love this city,i lived in boston 4 6 years and all i wanted to do was come back,i live in westfield right now though i often still go to Springfield....
My hometown
I used to play hooky in Barnum museum
History is not our story.
Lots of history, yet it’s changed so much so. No industry/manufacturing as there once was. Unfortunate.
My family had an old ships clock that was made out of brass that was made by the Waterbury Clock Company. It was very heavy.
hello.... any historians on bridgeport when was bridgeport high school built and when was it demolished and where did the records and photo graphs go please and thank you
there is no mentiion of st. anthony of padua church on acushnet avenue, started in 1902 and completed in 1912. st. anthony's is an major parish started by a tight-knit community of french community. the makers of this video should be ashamed of forgetting such a generous, well-loved parish with a wonderful history in the community!
Well, I truly appreciate the history lesson, you are truly not showing the devastation and the horrible neighborhoods that are in Waterbury now. It is an utter shame that the city has turned into a slum for the most part. You are only showing the areas in the city that are nice. Areas that are not so nice you have vague pictures.
Commercial Electrical Contractors? That's CCV, a B&W photo and a color photo. It used to be a stewarts
AGAWAM SKYLINE song about AGAWAM PLANTATION TO LISTEN GOOGLE james monahan AGAWAM SKYLINE 😊
TOADS PLACE🎩
Walmart parking lot was 20 railroad tracks wide!!!! Everywhere railroad tracks!!! HoweScale.
I was born in Manchester on the west side and went to Manchester West. Love this video. A lot of my Manch friends had french last names and I learned french in grade school.
Same here. Class of '04. Spent my formative years running around the Rimmon Heights neighborhood.
Still a sh*hole, worse than I remember, haven't been back in years, thankfully. Happy to escape. Even New Britain was better. 🤣
Im a Descendant of sir John brockett
i have a 4th cousin in Salem
some nice pictures, I don't believe the palace has 2 balconies???
cool vid, born and raised in lowell, bishop markem , then the acre, finally lower highlands, wow so many memories.
Too bad it’s a ghetto
This was a great video. I still live in Lowell, Ma. We have a rich history here in Lowell. Our mill city was the 1st of its kind here in America. My family came here from Canada and lived in Little Canada. Both of my grandmothers worked in the mills and became friends. My parents met when they were babies. Now I am raising my family here. I am a Lowell girl at❤
I’m from the original worcester in England. Always wondered about our twin town in the US; obviously there is far more history here but looks a lovely place I would like to visit one day soon.
I grow up here in this town but nothing is the same why put down all beautiful old buildings why not live every thing like before so beautiful nothing is the same every thing looks different but I still love my town ❤ always ❤
My ancestor George Pardee came to New Haven in 1644, escaping Taunton England having been wounded in the civil war. He eventually was one of the first headmasters of the Hopkins Grammar School. The Pardee name is still in town. Thank you for screening this.
The Stamford I grew up in has been long gone for a while. Makes me sad every time I visit CT
We Removed Colombus from Wooster Square but who were the Indigenous People who were driven out? and no talk of the total destruction of the ethnic neighborhoods and Churches during the reign of Richard C Lee as mayor an the purge of Yale university on all these areas. I remember some a a child and the garment district fire but there are no stories.
A great American city. This country may not have formed without her.
Not part of USA now, part of Cheney land and you might want to learn it. And never forget who brought the terror.
I like the video, mixed thoughts on the music though....
They show the Community College of Vermont as "Commercial Electrical Contractors" and that's incorrect.
I love this place so much! Growing up as a child my family used to take me here all the time. This is my favorite beach in the whole world. Such a unique fun place. There's nothing quite like Hampton Beach. It has a special place in my heart
It's a shîť hole now
I live in Waterbury
I remember when what is now the downtown shopping center & Wal Mart was the rail yard & roundhouse. Back then, Wales Street was paved with cobblestones and trolley rails ran down the center of it.
I was born in Waterbury and still have family that live there
Impressive slideshow... trying to imagine a better historical soundtrack instead of the synthesized sounding harpish guitar and electronic almost whale sound echoes... Too many kinds of ethnic and pop-periods music to be fairly representational, so maybe clocks ticking.. metal-machinery noises, splashing river water.. clanking trolleys, traffic sounds, the squeak of the Elton Hotel revolving door, multidenominational church echoes in English, Latin and more; bells and chimes, many footsteps and multi-accented voices in crowds, laughter, applause, higher speed sounds of traffic leaving town.
The Community College of Vermont (CCV) was labeled as an electrical company, otherwise a very nice job.
Let's not forget that the Merrimack River was the largest superfund site in the U.S. in the 1970s and 80s...Heavily polluted by tannery operations, and mills stretching North past Concord, NH.
The stones used to build St. Ann's (my former church) were dug by hand from the canals by Irish immigrants.
