Overcast and Damp
A few days ago, I "discovered" an interesting site that also
happens to be have a very interesting group of people dedicated
to keeping their borough's history in a project titled:
The Hopewell History Project
The Hopewell Valley History Project
Part 1
"The area referred to as Hopewell Valley (2000 census population of 16,105),
the Borough of Hopewell (2,035),the Borough of Pennington (2,696),
and the unincorporated census-designated place Titusville:
(which is within Hopeful Township)
Expanding the location, Hopewell Valley is in the State of New Jersey,
in the United States of America and it was incorporate on April 14, 1891.
The project goal is to collect items from the past for the people of the present
and the future to see. Hmmm, I thought to myself! This has got to be my next blog post. I wrote to The Hopewell Valley History Project, and a few days later, I received a nice e-mail from Mr. Douglas Dixon.
Mr. Dixon sent me 4 web addresses to research the post for information and photos that I could use for my post. Today, I've just added the link
to the first address and site of this wonderful project.
Douglas wrote:
"The main discussion of the Hoproco with photos and product sheets "
This is the best single link, with reference to others at the end.
There was a toy company in the town by the name of Hoproco
that existed in the 1920's in the Borough of Hopewell.
I haven't written too much today because Douglas and the other people
involved in this project have worked very hard to promote their history project.
However, I will most-certainly add another post to this wonderful discovery,
the wonderful place where the toys are located, and of course to
Mr. Douglas Dixon.
So that's it for today, and thanks for visiting my blog.
