Danbury’s Third Century: From Urban Status to Tri-Centennial Released

The long-awaited and anticipated book by Herb Janick and Bill Devlin, Danbury’s Third Century: From Urban Status to Tri-Centennial, is now available for sale at the Danbury Historical Society.  Janick and Devlin pick-up where James Bailey left off and tell the story of Danbury from 1889 to 1985.   Their especially readable narrative animates the historical microcosm of the City and illuminates industrial New England’s sometimes-rocky transition to more diversified populations and business communities. This volume is destined to be the chief reference work on twentieth century Danbury.
