An Understanding Of One Of The Largest Towns

Our Town is a play that takes place near the turn of the century in the small rural town of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire. The playwright, Thornton Wilder is trying to convey the importance of the little, often unnoticed things in life. Throughout the first two acts he builds a scenario, which allows the third act to show that we as humans often run through life oblivious to what is actually happening. Wilder attempts to show life as something that we take for granted. We do not realize the true value of living until we are dead and gone. The through-line of the action seems to be attention to the details of life. Wilder builds up a plot that pays attention to great details of living.

One hundred years is a long time, but in a small town many aspects does not change. The people, the neighborhoods, and the downtown areas have changed, but you can still tell where past eras had had their effect of the town. Neighborhoods 100 years ago used to be segregated, but now they are integrated. In the past, race relations were never good, but people always respected what other races brought to the community. Eventually, Baldwyn will become pasture similar to the one in “ Love Among the

The manufacturing business acted as an extremely important industrial area. From this area, wool was exported, sugar was high quality and electricity powered the city. During World War 2, in 1939-1945, the Pyrmont area was used mostly for exporting war supplies. This had a major impact on the area as it changed the whole area completely. After WWII had officially finished, the Pyrmont-Ultimo area was a major entry point for many traveling workers. It was from then, the Pyrmont-Ultimo area lowered/got worse. In the beginning the Pyrmont-Ultimo area, was a success in many things. But then WWII changed it all. , After 1945 manufacturing products in the area was no longer important. Different manufacturing groups moved to suburban

and Chilmark. In the precolonial era, the area was inhabited by a band of the Wappinger tribes of Native Americans. In the early 19th century, the area was known as Whitson's Corners. Walter William Law moved to the area and purchased lands during the 1890s; he also developed the village, establishing schools, churches, parks and the Briarcliff Lodge. The village wasincorporated in 1902, growing from 331 people when established to 7,867 in the 2010 census. It is primarily residential and has a relatively wealthy population. Its recreational facilities and parks, about 180 acres (73 ha), are all accessible to the public. The village has an elected local government, with departments including police, fire, recreation, and public works

In the town of Longtown, Ohio, all races have mixed freely for nearly 200 years. This early integration town was founded by James Clemens, a freed slave from Virginia. People there have married and befriended each other no matter the color of their skin. These conditions are outstanding considering the racism outside the town at the time. We can learn from these people living in almost perfect harmony by not judging anyone by anything else other than their character. In paragraph 4 of the article “Ohio town holds rare history: Races mix freely for nearly 200 years”, the Connor Keiser states, “We were the usual Longtown family. We all looked different, and we were taught that color didn’t matter.” Keiser demonstrates how when he grew up around different colored people, no one cared. They just became friends and lived peacefully because happiness and harmony doesn’t have to be a result of segregation. Another piece of evidence that demonstrates this is in paragraph 21 when the author states, “The Tigers’ appearance often confounded opponents.

The city of Blairsville is similar in style and beauty to Blue Ridge, yet possesses a history of its own. Originally established by Native Americans, Blairsville once attracted visitors from around the country because of a small gold rush in the mid 1880’s. Nowadays, residents delight in several yearly festivals,

Have you ever wondered how Charleston got its name? It all began when King Charles II of England arrived in Charles Town in 1670. Where its initial location Albemarle Point on the West bank of the Ashley River. Later then, Charles town was abandoned in 1680 for its present sites. The English settled here because there was a lot of land here but natives wanted it too. The Natives and the English had conflict between each other. Charles Town was difficult because of geography, resources, and disease.

As a busy “cross roads community” at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Linglestown was soon built up as an area of commerce, cultural, religious, and educated people (Linglestown History, nd). The Square became the center of the community surrounded by schools, churches, shops, and a community park. The demography of many small towns change over time due to the influence of social factors; however, the demography of Linglestown remains similar to when the European settlers arrived in the Village (Moore & Asay, 2013).

Harkness and DeMarco (2016) state that a historical review is an effective way to assess a community. History states that Winchendon was settled in 1752 by the Europeans, prior to this there is evidence, via early pathways, that the Native Americans where also once in this area although no settlements were found or recorded (White, 2015). This was originally the country of the Pennacook Indians then the Nipnet/Nipmuck tribe. The area was wilderness, which the settles had to clear land, build homes and find a way to survive. Since the area was rich in waterways this energy was harnessed and used in early gristmills

Another contrast is seen in the age structure of the two areas. Whilst the Isle of Purbeck has a population where over 20% are over 65 and 18.6% are retied, Byker Ward has a much more evenly distributed age

L. Laurie lets us get a glimpse at the town from 174 years ago. While we have to account for some exaggeration, this primary source is very important to how we view the process of urbanisation in Scotland. From this document and the Sanitary Inquiry as a whole, we can view how the different towns adapted to and were affected by the huge influx of people that came to the towns and cities of Scotland in the late eighteenth century. It shows part of the transition from churches to government in the question of who is responsible for the care of the needy in the population. We also see the role that charities played in the life of the citizens of each town. This source also gives us insight on the effects urbanisation had on the people of the towns. The values that were becoming more important to people like teetotalism and philanthropy. We see from Laurie’s report that urbanisation was not completely horrible for everyone at the time and some families did well and were able to help support others who were not as fortunate in the process of Scotland becoming what it is
