  • Q:\Clients\Cities\NY, New Rochelle\Website\From Client\New Rochelle, NY\History\From Farms to Resorts, Estates and Home to New I
    From Farms to Resorts, Estates and Home to ew Immigrants New Rochelle in the 19 th Century An “arm of the Atlantic”, Long Island Sound stretches along the New York and Connecticut shorelines to the ocean. The western end of the estuary meets the Manhattan’s East River at Hell’s Gate. This waterway not only put New Rochelle on a trade route, it propelled the farming community into a resort destination. Sophisticated entrepreneurs and the advancement of steamboat travel ensured its success, as they banked on the wide open vistas, clean country air and unlimited aquatic activities just a boat ride from the increasingly crowded and sullied streets of Manhattan. The first passenger train of the New Haven Railroad steamed into town on New Year’s Day, 1849, and within a few decades rail service travel was suitable for daily travel. As a result, many of the former vacationers began planting roots in the community - the wealthy building summer estates; the middle class families purchasing homes in developing residential parks. The train also brought new immigrants to town – the New Rochelle station was the first stop on the New Haven line and a quick trip from the ferry dock off Ellis Island. By 1865, 30% of the town's population was foreign-born. Of New Rochelle's 3,968 residents, 800 were Irish and 200 were German. The depot became the catalyst for shops, newspaper offices, banks, tearooms, and other enterprises that evolved into a permanent and thriving “downtown” that was within the Village of New Rochelle (a 950 section that had been established in 1857.

The tower is significant for its association with an important period in the development of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, and for its original embodiment of state of the art architectural design and electrical engineering technology. Project Information: This documentation was initiated in accordance with a 1994 Memorandum of Agreement between the Federal Railroad Administration and the New York State Historic Preservation Office as a mitigation measure prior to the tower's demolition to accommodate additional tracks as part of a railroad improvement project on the Northeast Corridor.

    CITY OF NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK, AS SEEN FROM THE AIR IN 1938. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE By HERBERT B. NICHOLS Published Bv, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION NEW ROCHELLE/ NEW YORK 1938 COPYRIGHT 1938 BY HERBERT B. NICHOLS FIRST EDITION PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE LITTLE PRINT, NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE FOREWORD To the publication ~f a little booklet designed for classroom use throughout the public schools of New Rochelle treating of sig­ nificant events in the historic development of the city, impetus was given early this year by the observance of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the fou~ding of the "Queen City of the Sound". Preparation at th~t tiine for a pageant revealed that only isolated bits of historic materials were available and that nowhere I was there in print, suitable for school use, a concise and orderly treatment of the circumstances and conditions that led, first, to the selection of a site for refuge for. the fleeing French Huguenots and, later, to its settlement and dev,elopnient. To meet the deficiency, a committee was entrusted with the responsibility of assembling, preparing and editing all known information. How well that job was done "Historic New Rochelle" reveals. Not a booklet, but a full-sized text, scholarly, well organized, care­ fully and authentically documented, and yet, withal, attractively written, interestingly and entertainingly presented, is here given the girls and boys, their parents, the teaching staff, and others who may be interested. In the pages and chapters which follow, environ­ ment becomes a living reality and the reader is privileged to follow, from t}:le beginning to the present, the colorful and intricate threads that make up the historic and fascinating tapestry of New Rochelle.

As training objectives, recognition of job hazards, learning safe work practices and appreciating other preventive measures are expected to contribute to the goal of reducing occupational risk of injury and disease. This report reviews data found in the literature reflecting the significance of training in meeting these kinds of objectives and outcomes. As will be seen, there is much positive evidence but the results seem very selective and highly qualified. An analysis to identify factors underlying a successful training experience is also presented and does confirm basic principles of learning. Here too, however, important gaps are noted in the available data.
