HISTORY OF THE BEAVER VAL-
Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Gazette.
Beaver Yaxley, April, 1873.
[Paper No. B.]
t vBRIDGBWATEB.
Passing from the history, of Sharon,
which as b* s already been stated con
tains the primitive history of Bridgewa
ter, we come 1 to that most pleasant and
interesting town, the subject ol this let
ter. V-
Tbe lands upon which that part of
Bridgewater at the mouth "Of the Beaver
Is situated, Were originally a part of what
wereknown as the "academy outlets.”
A mention has been made of these in
tracing the early history of Beaver, car
rying the toind back to the year 1791.
All those lands, and the adjacent coun
try were formerly the suburbs of Beaver.
After the sale of outlets, the lands came
into the possession of Joseph Hemphill,
who was the owner oMKe-lands until the
town was ISid out. It was the scene of
some very interesting occurrences, in
connection with early Beaver and Sharon,
and the good old people who are yet
living, and who passed through the try
ing scenes and adventures of T early days,
dwell with pleasure of those times. Men
yet vigorous in health, tel) us of the deer
and bear huting over the hills and along
the water courses of, and sear, Bridge
water, and it seems but as yesterday to
us, when their hearts glowing with tbe
fire of younger days and their lips tremb
ling with words of eloquence, they re
lated tbe sports that characterized their
native heatty Their gunning, trapping,
and angling, Interspersed with a bear
chase were sources of pleasure to them,
and interest to us.
The advantages of the “point" at this
place, as a good location for boating and
forwarding, were only noted. It lies be
tween the Ohio and Beaver rivers, and
has seen an eventful career, which is yet
not ended. Tbe town seems to have
been laid out as early as 1818 by Mr.:
Hemphill, and some little building com
menced in tbe town plot about that time.
A store was put in operation at tbe end
of the bridge by Mr. Hemphill, and was
doing business at the time and after tbe
laying out of tbe town. From tbe date
of tbe establishment of the town, it has
not been characterized by any unusual
energy or rapid stride in material pro
gress. Its growth has been rather slow,
and has resulted in giving the valley a
genuinely prosperous town.
Us history nas been marked by ;the
rise and progress of several branches of
manufacturing, many of which have
fallen and been forgotten, while others
are in tbe height of their prosperity and
doing a really good and safe business.
Probably one of the most interesting of
its
INDUSTRIES OF TOE PAST
has been the boat building, which was
carried on very extensively for many
years. There were two boat yards in
the limits of the present town, in addi
tion to the one located at Sharon, which
has become so famous. It was a good
business thirty and forty years ago, and
gave employment to a large class of men,
and remunerating well those who engag
ed in it.
The location of boat yards at this place ,
was a very favorable one for several rea
sons, among which were the cheapness ot
living rents, fuel and produce, and the
abundance ot timber that lined the water
courses. Boats were prepared tor finish
ing at these yards, and sent to Pittsburgh
for finish, and money was saved to the
owners of the boats. But boat building
has.entirely passed away from the town,
and for years nothing of the kind has
been done. Other branches of labor
have taken its place, and given employ
ment to the people of the town. “Stone’s
Point” was at one time a place of con
siderable stir and activity, being the
stopping place of the boats that landed.
Thifcwharf was first graced with the land
ing of a boat in the years 1833, coming
from Pittsburgh. It was named “Bea
ver,” and was the beginning^ of ~wbat
proved to be quite profitable source of
trade to the town. The sensation caused
by the landing of this boat was some
thing like that which would be produced
by dropping a train of cars into—say
Greene county. I am not prepared to
say that it was the occasion of a general
public rejoicing, nor that any cannons
were fired over the event, nor even that
Sir Silverspeech, in the glory of the occa
sion, gave utterance to horning words of
eloquence, but it was an occasion of re*
joicing among the Bridgewaterltea, and
no doubt was the town talk for many «
w*-ary day and la even yet
reverted to with pride.
This “point” became quite a forward
ing centre, and quite a good business
was done in that line, hut like the boat
building, it is now one :of the things of
the past. After the canal had beehlo
<»ted and put in the te’si*
oess was done Ip the valley by this. en
terprise. Boats: must be built : and
Bridgewatef boat yards were at hand.
Captains for steamers were needed, and
this town put forward men for that pur-'
pose. At this time. It probably MW as
active and prosperous days as it has ever
seen.. The time of was
in the latter part of the-first fifteen years
of its history.
It already bad some commission houses,
consequent upon being the regular land*
ing place of the Pittsburgh packets,
'which were doing a good business, be
tides the business houses of various kinds
LET
that are found in such towns. Some
five hotels soon graced its streets, for the
accommodation of passengers by the
steamers, atad also by stage lines ranging
to the city of Cleveland. It was about
the beginning of this career of prosperi
ty, in the years of 1883 and 1834, that the
whole of Beaver Valley seemed to have
entered upon an era of great activity,
owing probably to tbe opening of the
canal, and business was prosperous and
employment good and plenty. Every
man seemed to have his place, and a place
was provided for every one who had the
desire to work.
Tffis tfAKCFA&OBIBS OP THS TOW if
date back to quite an eaily period. In
the year 1885 a foundry was established
iu-theupper portion of it by the Messrs.
Darragb, which is yet In successful oper
ation. Various manufacturing estab
lishments were created, acme flourishing
for & while and then passing ont of sight.
At one period a glass factory Was doing a
thriving business, so .for? as man could
see, but it is now suspended. Why this
should be so is a question. Certainly no
better point for that business can be
found. Itought to be in full blast to
day, blessing the families of the town; A
tannery, formerly operated by James
Darragb. is now quiet, and. as well;
Greer’s foundry, formerly under a good
run of , business, has also closed its doors
and become quiet. Other industries of
this character have also had their day
and are. now suspended. The town
should have a score of good manufacto
ries of some kind in addition to what it
already has. The progress and success of
factories would not seem to have a. very ;
brilliant history in this goodly borough*
but still there are no good., reasons why
others should be deterred from under
taking enterprises of this kind. We can
not tell what difficulties have been un
dergone by them—what embarrassments
and hindrances met them at every torn
from unexpected quartern, and what mis
managements may have been theirs, to
retard their progress. The present:
Bridgewater, is a pleasantly located*
town of about 1,200 inhabitants. The
main part ot the , town is located on a
large flat, forming the bank of the Beaver
river. Running back from this it. covers
an elevation of some extent, giving it a
most beautiful appearance. It is not un
like the other valley towns is the va
riegated scenery,. which one meets and
sees at every step. In passing the town
ontheP.P.W. & C. R. R., the scene
from the cars is really a delightful one.
He mnst have a dull heart who cannot
see a picture of beauty in the scenery
before him, in its transition from the hill
to plain both covered with the tasteful
works of art.
The people of the town have a happy
way of covering up bare and ill-looking
spots in the hillside, which have been
stripped of their natural covering. In
such places may be seen thrifty vine
yards, tasty gardens and whatever may
be done to render pleasant the unsightly
portions of the town. Its streets seem
to be: very pleasant, and taking all to
gether, it is not out of order to offer a
word of commendation to this people.
The yiews from the town are neither so
comprehensive nor pleasing to the mind
as those seen from the other towns. It is
true that the Ohio sweeps her bank in
its onward march to the sea, and an oc
casional bit of pretty scenery presents
itself to the eye, but it does not allow
one those great views of the beautiful in
nature that at once charm and excite
admiration.
AS IT IB HOW.
Tbe present industries of the town are
the following: Tbe foundry of M. & 8.
H. Darragh employing ten hands, and
making a good quality of stove castings,
&c. They do a safe and profitable busi
ness, and are not succeptible to the usual
disasters which have driven to the wall
so many of the other works of the town.
Tbe father of these gentlemen, Robert
Darragh, was one of the first settlers of
Beaver county, and was very highly re
spected and honored by all who had the
pleasure of knowing him. Hr. Thomas
Campbell has also In operation a foundry,
and is doing a good business. His pro
ductions are those of other valley foun
dries. There is also a very; fine tannery
carried on by Mr. Samuel Moorehead,
m which a good business is being done.
Add to these one steam grist mill and
three steam- saw mills' belonging to
Messrs. 8. Davidson & Bra.; carriage
factory, blacksmith, shops and stocking
I factories, and yen have all that is now
done in Bridgewater in the.way- of man
ufactories and shops. It seems as if there
ought to be more, but probably it is all
right. One hotel gives entertainment ■ to
the weary, way-worn traveler. who may
pail i&to the town. Some nine or ten
storm ask fof ths custom! of their; neigh
bors in tbe purchase of jiry goods, gro
ceries, &c. The people there evidently:
are hot suffering in this particular, and
would not: feel thankful for tbe Recom
mendation to others to locate among

THE RADICAL: FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1873.
Colored M. E. C. is a young man of abili
ty and goodness of heart, and mast suc
ceed in doing good. The public school
is held in a fine building, erected for that
purpose in 1862. There are four depart
ments in the school, with an average
attendance of about one hundred and
seventy -five pupils. The character: of the
dwellings in the town is good. Some
very beautiful residences adorn the. town,
and in a special manner several located
on the bluff attract attention, apt because
of the great architectural eflfect produced,
but by reason of their beauty, simplicity
aid oommodioasnee&n lis resldenoes will

ley, If a few are excepted which have been
built at a large cost and display. These
good Bridgewater people can make their
town a place of surpassing beauty by a
small outlay. It is well calculated for
adornment by natural means. The va
riety of its scenery, alternating In hill and
valley, will admit of a very elaborate or
namentation of 'shrubbery and trees,
make it a spot of sylvan beauty—of the
lightest type of beauty, by combination
of whatever is lovely in art, with the ad
dition of whatnature so lavishly sup
plies. To make this town what it ought
to be and what it is intended !of, It needs
more manufacturing establishments.
There ought to be one or two glass mills—
a first class iron mill, and the factories
and foundries that have fa.llep into dis
use, ought,, .to be revived and put to
work.
It i« certainly no exaggeration to say,
that it ought t<> be one of the most pros
perous and Inviting towns In the valley.
It cannot afford-T-tbe falley cannot afford
—to allow the presentatagoation to con
tinue, when Ut natural advantages are so
great and it is so admirably located. It
wants no addition of workipg people at
present, as it has all and more thanH can
supply with remunerative labor* Get
some energetic capitalists in ybur midst,
put to work some paying industries, and
when your people_are all contentedly at
work, make room tor hundreds more of
the same stamp. The present people are,
as a class, industrious, moral end temper
ate, and no other clasd ought to find s
home among them. Beavbß.
