Description

Take a fascinating journey through the history of the City of Championswith more than 200 vintage photographs.

Garfield was once home to the Lenni Lenape, a tribe within the Algonquin Nation of Native Americans. Later, the Revolutionary Wartouched the area when many British soldiers entered the district in pursuit of Washington's army.

After the war, farmers prospered as the fertile land of the river valley produced abundant crops that were shipped down the Passaic Riverto markets in New York City. In the late 1800s, as cities lying across the river industrialized, Garfield's farms gave way to mills, a trolley and railroads built lines through town, and soon the soaring population attracted a variety of small businesses.

In Garfieldincludes many never before published photographs that reveal the nature, culture, and character of the community. Included are views of the local schools, churches, markets, and police and fire departments, as well as many interesting local residents.
