New Rochelle (Postcard History Series)

New Rochelle (Postcard History Series)

Beginning with its settlement by refugees seeking religious freedom to its present standing as a diverse and vibrant city, New Rochelleâ€™s 325-year-old story reflects many great American trends and social movements. From a small town of farms to one of New Yorkâ€™s leading suburbs, by the turn of the 20th century, New Rochelle was a fashionable spot from which to â€œdrop a note.â€ The â€œGolden Age of Postcardsâ€ arrived at an ideal time for the rapidly growing community, which boasted an array of winning characteristics, including 12 meandering miles of Long Island Sound shoreline, attractive neighborhoods styled as â€œresidential parks,â€ an up-and-coming downtown, and many impressive structures. In New Rochelle, vintage postcards from the New Rochelle Public Libraryâ€™s local history collection provide a wonderful glimpse into the years New Rochelleâ€™s core identity took shape.
