The Paugussett lived in the Bridgeport area when the English arrived. The first documented European settlement within today's city, in 1644, centered on Black Rock Harbor and North Avenue and was called Pequonnock, Quiripi for "cleared land," after a Paugussett band. One of their sacred sites was Golden Hill, above the harbor, with springs and planting fields, since cut through for an expressway. The Connecticut Colony granted the Golden Hill Indians a reservation there in 1639 that lasted until 1802, and the tribe later kept a small state-recognized reservation in Trumbull. Mount Grove Cemetery was laid out on the site of a Native village and an ancient Paugussett burial ground.
The colonial settlement grew along the King's Highway, now U.S. Route 1, in the Stratfield district and became a center of trade, shipbuilding and whaling. The town took its name from the bridges needed over the Pequonnock River, whose mouth made a navigable port. Bridgeport was incorporated as a town in 1821, partly to help finance the Housatonic Railroad, and as a city in 1836, and it industrialized rapidly once the line connected with the New York and New Haven railroad. The showman P.T. Barnum lived in Bridgeport, built four houses there, wintered his circus in the town and served as mayor in 1871. Manufacturing remained the mainstay of the economy until the 1970s.
