Towns – Bridgeport

Current Weather

Bridgeport Connecticut’s early years were marked by a reliance on fishing and farming, much like other towns in New England. The city’s location on the deep Black Rock Harbor fostered a boom in shipbuilding and whaling in the mid-19th century especially after the opening of a railroad to the city in 1840. The city of Bridgeport was rapidly industrialized in the late-19th century, and became a manufacturing center producing such goods as the famous Bridgeport milling machine, brass fittings, carriages, sewing machines, saddles, and ammunition. Bridgeport is served on the main northeast corridor of Amtrak passenger rail service.
