NorthEast |
||
| The NorthEast neighborhood is bounded by Spring Grove Cemetery to
the south, the railroad yards to the east, and Keney Park to the north and west. The area
north of the cemetery was mostly farms until the purchase of Keney Park. In 1896 the
northern Hartford line was expanded from Westland Street to Keney Park. The area north of
the cemetery gradually developed along horse trolley lines as far as Capen Street. From
the 1890s the neighborhood has been an area of small tradespeople, such as meat
processors, and large scale manufacturing. The landscape and architecture of the Northeast
reflect several stages of the city's history, as it changed from rural district of a river
town to a suburban section of an industrial city. It has great amount of planned open
space at Keney Park, and several cemeteries.
