Elizabeth, New Jersey, the first state capital and the birthplace
of Princeton University, was founded in 1665. This illustrious city
was extremely influential during the Revolutionary and Colonial
periods, and was home to numerous distinguished political and
military figures. Over time, Elizabeth developed into an important
industrial and economic center, welcoming the Singer Manufacturing
Company in 1873 and becoming a recognized leader in automobile
manufacturing long before Detroit. The culturally diverse city came
to serve also as a crossroads for many commuting to jobs in Newark
and in New York City. With Elizabeth, authors Jean-Rae Turner and
Richard Koles have assembled a remarkable collection of vintage
photographs of the city, documenting its history from 1665 to 1965.
