To East Stroudsburg. the Dansbury of I946 Pennsylvania, all nationally known metal work Do you know you live in Dansbury? Well, you do. In 1737, Daniel Brodhectd purchased six hundred acres of land hereabouts, estab- lished his home, Brodhead Manor, at the pres ent site of the General Hospital, and named his vast holding of real estate, Dansbury. Incorporated in 1870, East Stroudsburg has had c1 remarkable growth from the days of its founding father until the present time. Today our community ranks as the largest urban and industrial area in Monroe County. Our community, lying just east'of Brodhectd's Creek, might be termed the railroad, industrial, resort, educational, religious, and medical cen- ter of the county. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western and the Pennsylvania Railroads have their station here in the heart of the Po- conos. The Hughes Publishing Company, one of the largest printing firms in the East, has its main plant and offices here, too. East Strouds- burg is the home of the International Boiler Works, the Patterson-Kelley Company, the Line Material Company of Pennsylvania, the Pocono Metal Cratters, and the Art Metal Company of ing industries. The public and parochial schools, the State Teachers College, the Gen- eral and the Rosenkrctns Memorial Hospitals, make this the hub of the educational and medi- cal services of the county. The religious tone of the town wells from the Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Baptist, Catholic and Hebrew' congregations, plus the Salvation Army and smaller denominations. East Stroudsburg looks to the post war era With confidence and optimism. Better housing, residential, business and industrial zoning, im- proved streets, curbs, sidewalks, street lighting, new industries, a modern sewage disposal sys- tem, parking meters in the shopping area, ade- quate airport facilities, an extensive and mod- ern addition to the General Hospital, a Memor- ial Athletic Stadium, and a new and modern high school building are in the borough's horo- scope. In honor of East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, the Dansbury of 1946, we solemnly and respect- fully dedicate this year's edition of LC: Torche. F ive
