History of New Britain, CT

New Britain was settled in 1687 and then was incorporated as a new parish under the name New Britain Society in 1754. Chartered in 1850 as a township and in 1871 as a city, New Britain was separated from the nearby town of Berlin, Connecticut. A consolidation charter was adopted in 1905. During the early part of the 20th century, New Britain was known as the "Hardware Capital of the World", as well as "Hardware City". Major manufacturers, such as The Stanley Works, the P&F Corbin Company , and North & Judd, were headquartered in the city. Postcard: West Main Street, pre-1907.

The two companies merged in 1920, and the Stanley Rule and Level Company became the Hand Tools Division of Stanley Works.
