Label TextIn 1874, when this map was published, East Hampton was a village within the town of Chatham, dominated by bell foundries, including the Gong Bell Manufacturing Company, the East Hampton Bell Company, and Bevin Brothers. The Airline Railroad ran through the village, providing a convenient means to ship finished product to market. The name of the overall town was not changed to East Hampton until 1915.
