Keyport: From Plantation to Center of Commerce and Industry - The Making of America Series - Thryft

Keyport's transformation from plantation to industrial hub.

If you're into American history and relish understanding how small towns evolve, Keyport's story captures just that. It delves into the essence of what shaped America at a micro level—how a tiny plot of land became significant through its unique industries and vibrant tales. It's engaging for anyone intrigued by the less often told stories of America's economic and social fabric.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Emerging from the shores of the Raritan Bay, Keyport's roots trace back to the Kearney family's plantation and its vital role during Revolutionary times. Although just 1.4 square miles in size, it encompasses shipbuilding, oyster farming, a trolley network, and an Aeromarine industry within a rich and influential history. Beyond these are the abundant and captivating tales of catastrophic fires and the vaunted Prohibition days providing a colorful framework of life in this coastline community.
