Description

Written by Michael P. Walsh WEST HAVEN, CT — Mayor Nancy R. Rossi and author Dan Shine will sign copies of the new centennial book, "City of West Haven: Village to Town," from 5:30-7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17, at the city's Main Library, 300 Elm St. The $20 book, printed in partnership with GHP Media of West Haven, chronicles the stories and photos that shaped West Haven's past 100 years. The information was sourced from the "Historian's Corner" series written by Shine, one of the foremost authorities on West Haven history. The 116-page historical work, which has black-and-white and full-color photos, was commissioned by the City of West Haven Centennial Celebration Committee to commemorate West Haven's 1921 birth and its incorporation by the General Assembly as Connecticut's youngest town, said Rossi, the committee's honorary chairwoman. The paperback book is also available for purchase in the Department of Human Resources at City Hall, 355 Main St., or by calling Commissioner Beth A. Sabo, the committee's chairwoman, at 203-937-3558. This holiday season, give the gift of the West Haven centennial book. Get a copy while supplies last!
