Why this spot
1830s-1870s stagecoach and sawmill village
Village begun as New City West after the failed harbor town of City West, with about 20 houses, a sawmill, a cooper shop, a brickyard, a stagecoach tavern and an Underground Railroad station. A sawmill boiler explosion in 1875 ended its prosperity and it was largely deserted after 1876.View source →
