Book Description
In the early 1600s, a handful of restless inhabitants of the Massachusetts Bay Colony left Boston for Wethersfield, Connecticut, later continuing on to the site then known as "Rippowam." "Rippowam" became known as "Stamford," a sleepy New England village. But as New York began emerging as the preeminent city in America, Stamford, less than 40 miles away, was pulled into a new sphere. Even in the dawn of its own industrial prosperity in the 19th century, Stamford was the home of New York commuters. It was also the home of an increasingly diverse population. After eras of subsistence, then surplus, farming in the 17th and 18th centuries, industrial enterprise and trade in the 19th, and the postindustrial slump, Stamford today -- with sweet irony -- is the site of a large cluster of Fortune 500 companies who left New York behind.

Book Description
At the turn of the 20th century, Stamford was fast becoming an industrial powerhouse, quickly earning its nickname of "The City That Works." As manufacturing boomed and drew thousands of immigrants to the city, sports clubs formed at an equally rapid pace. Stamford's large and thriving industrial league provided a means for those working six-day weeks to let off steam productively and enjoyably. Stamford Sports covers the history of sports in Stamford from its earliest baseball and basketball teams in the 1890s through the burgeoning of sports of all types for everyone, brought on by the passage of Title IX in the 1970s.
