If you’re moving to Bridgeport be informed it is an old north-eastern post-industrial small city. It was initially built up (its grid laid down) shortly after the American Civil War ended in 1865 In the late 19th century it became a significant arms manufacturing center with companies like Remington Arms located here. After about 1960 most of the manufacturing companies moved elsewhere leaving many of the local workers unemployed. Today Bridgeport is considered part of the American “rust-belt” of largely abandoned and decaying post industrial cities.
