• History of Bridgeport - A port on Long Island Sound at the mouth of the Pequonnock River. Black Rock Harbor is a deep, protected harbor that developed as a trade port and shipbuilding center in the 18th century. Black Rock was once part of Fairfield, but now is a neighborhood of the city of Bridgeport. Settled in 1639, it was first known as Newfield and later as Stratfield. In 1800 it was incorporated as a borough and named Bridgeport for the first drawbridge over the river. (Added: 13-Jun-2004 Hits: 12)
