On Greenwich Before 2000, we'll cast our gaze back to Year 1958.
A century ago, in April, 1924, an explosion rocked the vicinity of lower Lake Avenue. Dynamite, stored in a shed on former Rockefeller property being developed at the time by The Greenwich Land and Development Company.
Also a century ago, a 28-year-old Stamford native arrived in Greenwich on a forty-day "walking wager" from Bangor, Pennsylvania on his way to Boston -while shackled with handcuffs to a wheelbarrow.
On Greenwich Life As It Is-And Was, Lucien B. Edwards took his readers back to the history of the Presbyterian Church located opposite the head of Greenwich Avenue.
Greenwich's Police Department was founded in 1906. History is replete with wrongdoings and misdeeds on Crimes and Misdemeanors.
