About Ansonia, Connecticut
Ansonia is a city of 18,918 people in New Haven County, on the Naugatuck River just north of Derby. English colonists farmed this valley from 1652, when it belonged to Derby. In 1844 the merchant Anson Green Phelps set out to build a factory village next to his mill at Birmingham, but a farmer there raised his price from $5,000 to $30,000. Phelps would not pay, so he bought land two miles upriver on the east bank instead.
In 1845 Irish laborers with picks, shovels, carts and horses started digging a canal to carry river power to the new mills, and an embankment a mile and a half long was raised to hold the reservoir. The first contractors gave up after spending $10,000, and Almon Farrel and Abraham Hubbell completed the job. Phelps had hoped to call the place Phelpsville, but another village already used that name, so on a friend's advice he built the name from his own first name. Ansonia became a borough of Derby in 1864. In 1889 the state made it a separate town, Connecticut's 168th, and it was incorporated as a city in 1893.
“Ansonia has steadily grown in wealth, population and enterprise until she now vies with any manufacturing village in the state.”
- Hard years, 1852 to 1854An 1852 fire wrecked several factories, a $75,000 loss. On a Sunday in November 1853 the Naugatuck climbed more than seventeen feet at Derby, and the copper mill stood under four feet of water. That night the river took the Ansonia bridge while a young couple was crossing, and people downstream heard their cries, but in the dark no one could reach them.
- New England's first electric roadElectric cars began running between Ansonia and Derby in April 1888, the first electric line working anywhere in New England. Its builders expected freight to cover the costs, hauling cargo to the Derby docks to meet the New York steamboat. After two years they gave up on freight and carried passengers only.
- Birthplace of Washington's aideDerby decided in 1690 to put up a house for its minister, and the work was done in 1698 on today's Elm Street. David Humphreys was born in it in 1752. The General David Humphreys House was listed on the National Register in 1972, and the Derby Historical Society runs it as a museum.
- A library from Phelps's granddaughterCaroline Phelps Stokes funded the Ansonia Library to honor her parents and her grandfather, Anson Phelps. The architect George Keller gave the brownstone building a clock tower, and it was completed in 1892. Four years later, in 1896, the city took charge of it, and it has run the library ever since. It was added to the National Register in 1985.
- The Flood of 1955On August 19, 1955, rain from Hurricane Diane pushed the Naugatuck out of its banks. The water wrecked homes and businesses and swept away the Maple Street Bridge. A flood wall was later built on the east bank to protect Main Street and the factories. Across the river, federal public housing took the place of the ruined blocks on Broad Street, now called Olson Drive.
