This book was originally published by the Bloomfield Centennial Historical Committee in 1912. This historical sketch is a symposium of narratives by different authors to whom special departments were assigned. What it lacks in unity it makes up in data. It is a compendium of annals rather than an essay in history. This book opens with a discussion of Bloomfields settlement and closes with an account of a stroll through its streets at the time of publication. Chapters include: The Beginnings, The 1776 Period, and After the Revolution by Joseph F. Folsom; Incorporation and Subsequent Government by Raymond F. Davis; The Schools and Schoolmasters by William A. Baldwin; Transportation by Charles C Ferguson; The History of the Churches by George Louis Curtis; Municipal Development by William P. Sutphen; The Annals of Stone House Plains (Brookdale) by James E. Brooks; and An Afternoon Walk by Maud Parsons. Appendices include: Board of Trade Resolution, Act of Incorporation (1812), Centennial Celebration and Committee, and Sub-Committees of the Centennial Celebration. A wealth of names, dates and location are preserved on these pages. Several facsimile reprints of vintage photographs, a map of Bloomfield in 1830, and an index to names, places and subjects add to the value of this work.
