This vintage map of Westport, Connecticut was created in 1878 and published by O.H. Bailey & Co. of Boston. This restored edition brings this historic Westport map to life while preserving the original street names, buildings, churches, mills, roads, bridges, sailboats, marshes, farmland, waterfront, and numbered business directory.

About This Historic Map

Drawn from an elevated bird’s-eye perspective, this map shows Westport in the late 19th century, when the town was shaped by the Saugatuck River, Saugatuck Bay, Gorham Island, local mills, churches, schools, farms, shops, docks, and village roads. The view looks inland from the harbor, capturing a remarkable mix of coastal commerce, rural countryside, river crossings, clustered village streets, and individual homes set among orchards and open fields.

Notable landmarks shown on the map include the Post Office, Christ Church, Congregational Church, Methodist Church, Church of the Assumption, Public Schools, Westport Hotel, Saugatuck Hotel, Sturges & Co.’s Dock, Hurlbutt’s Block, Benedict’s Block, John H. Bates’ manufactory, Nash’s Saw and Planing Mill, National Bank, Westport Bank, Office of the Westporter, Riverside Institute for Ladies, and numerous historic shops, residences, professional offices, bridges, boats, roads, and riverfront buildings.

A beautiful statement piece for any home, office, library, or Westport family collection, this reproduction is printed using KNOWOL’s restored and colorized version of the 1878 Westport, Connecticut map, preserving the historic character of the original while adding clarity, warmth, and decorative depth for modern walls.
