Atlas Histories
We have begun extracting county histories from the historic atlases. The histories have been grouped according to title and reflect the writing style of the time period.
Many histories contain detailed information of the areas during the time period including the following:
- information on the founding of towns and townships
- descriptions of prominent residents
- descriptions of prominent industries, churches, institutional facilities
- population information
- railroad & canal descriptions
- rivers, streams, reservoirs
- business notices
To start browsing our selection, select a county from the left navigator. Hope you enjoy!
