'Glimpses of Greenwich, Stamford, and Norwalk', 1874. 'Norwalk Harbor, Glimpse in Greenwich, Stamford', Connecticut, USA. 'About twenty miles from our great commercial metropolis lies the first station on the Connecticut shore, that of Greenwich, a very attractive village, occupying finely-wooded slopes just north of the station. Its antiquity is unquestionable; for, two centuries and a quarter ago, it was designated by the Dutch-English Commission, in convention at Hartford, as the western limit of the province of Connecticut'.
