The city, the most populous in the state, is a port on Long
Island Sound at the mouth of the Pequonnock River. Black Rock Harbour is a deep,
protected harbour that developed as a trade port and shipbuilding centre in the
18th century. Black Rock was once part of Fairfield, but now is a neighbourhood
of the city of Bridgeport. Bridgeport's advantageous geographic location,
situated around an excellent harbour on the Long Island Sound, encouraged the
early settlers to shift from agrarian to mercantile and manufacturing pursuits.
It grew from a whaling centre into an industrial centre after the opening of the railroad
in 1840.
