Bridgeport Data Center

Bridgeport is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Connecticut. Located in and the former county seat of Fairfield County, the city had an estimated population of 137,912 in 2006 and is the core of the Greater Bridgeport area. The city is part of the New York metro area.

Bridgeport is also the center of the 41st largest urban area in the United States, just behind Austin, Texas (40th).

The city is quite marked by its attachment to its famous resident, the circus-promoter and once mayor P.T. Barnum. Barnum built three houses in the city, and housed his circus in town during winters.

Other than Black Rock and parts of Brooklawn which were originally part of the Town of Fairfield, Bridgeport was originally a part of the Town of Stratford. The first settlement was made in 1659. It was called Pequonnock until 1695, when its name was changed to Stratfield, because of its location between the already existing towns of Stratford and Fairfield. During the American Revolution it was a center of privateering. In 1800, the borough of Bridgeport was chartered, and in 1821 the township was incorporated. The city was not chartered until 1836.

The city was home to the Frisbie Pie Company, and therefore it has been argued that Bridgeport is the birthplace of the frisbee.

The city is also home to the first Subway Restaurant. The first Restaurant opened in the North End section of the city in 1965. The restaurant is located at 5 corners located on North Main Street, Jewett Avenue, Tesiny Avenue and Beechmont Avenue. The company is still headquartered in the area, in nearby Milford.

The community has two hospitals, Bridgeport Hospital and St. Vincent's Medical Center.

Bridgeport Airports

Nearby Sikorsky Memorial Airport once provided regional flights to major hub cities such as Logan International Airport in Boston and Baltimore-Washington International Airport; however, service to the airport declined in the 1990s, and US Airways Express became the last airline to suspend operations at the airport in November 1999. In June 2006, US Helicopter began scheduled service to New York City from the Sikorsky Airport. Tweed New Haven Regional Airport is another nearby facility that provides scheduled air service. The closest international airports are La Guardia and John F. Kennedy in New York City and Newark in Newark, New Jersey.

Bridgeport Animal Control

Animal Control has been located for many years at 525 Asylum St. and on June of 2008 the animal shelter which is now referred to as Bridgeport Animal Control has moved to 236 Evergreen St. This location was the previous housing quarters for the Shoreline Star Greyhounds. This location once housed over 800 dogs. The Animal Control facility is currently the largest in the state of Connecticut. Over 1500 to 2000 animals are brought in yearly. The new facilities currently consist of three buildings. An Administration building, and two animal holding buildings. One is used as a quarantine building for the 7 day holding period and the second is the adoption building. The new shelter can house up to 80 dogs and 25 cats. During the beginning of the project the facility was planning on holding 52 cats in a fourth building but there wasn't enough money in the budget. The Director of the Animal shelter is referred to as the Chief Animal Control officer and his assistant officers are referred to as AACO's (Assistant Animal Control officers) The largest breed of dog the shelter deals with, is the "Pitbull." The BAC does not pick up cats unless they are sick or injured and this is also the same policy for wildlife.

Bridgeport Building Department

Building Department issues permits and inspects work done to all buildings and other structures. Permits include building, electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, sprinklers, refrigeration, demolition and signs. Applications for permits are reviewed for conformance to applicable laws and codes. A permit constitutes permission to proceed with the approved work. The purpose of permits and inspections is to ensure public safety, health and welfare insofar as they are affected by building construction, through structural strength, adequate exit facilities, fire safety, light and ventilation and sanitary equipment. In general, the Building Department functions to secure safety to life and property from hazards incident to the design, erection, repair, removal, demolition or occupancy of buildings, structures or premises.

The Building Department was officially established on July 12, 1889 to enforce a new set of city ordinances collectively called the municipal building code. On October 1, 1970, the State of Connecticut passed a law that created a new regulation, which became known as the State Building Code for the State of Connecticut, effective September 1, 1971. This state building code is a uniform standard that applies equally to all municipalities within the state. The Building Department in effect became a quasi-state agency, constituted locally, but responsible for state laws and regulations and answerable to the State Department of Public Safety.

A building permit is the official permission to start any construction project. The permit indicates that the plans for a new structure, addition, renovation, plumbing, electrical or mechanical system have been reviewed and comply with mandated building codes and laws.

Bridgeport City - Office of Film

Bridgeport has become a very happening place for the film industry. The State of Connecticut recently enacted legislation providing tax credits for film and television projects. These benefits, combined with Bridgeport’s exciting Arts and Entertainment benefits, wealth of historical urban cityscapes, parks, and coastline have lured national film companies to the city in recent months.

In response to this need, the city has established the Office of Film, to provide one-stop shopping for production companies and to facilitate production. On these pages you will find links to information concerning tax credits and other incentives, permitting information and forms, insurance requirements, resources, background information on Bridgeport and other data.

BERC works closely with the city's office of film. BERC helps pre-production crews with site location, available incentives, and permits. BERC is available to answer all of your questions related to filming in Bridgeport, and to support you through the entire process. If you would like more information about motion picture and television production in Bridgeport, please contact BERC at 203-335-1108. We look forward to meeting you and working with you on your future shoots in Bridgeport.

Bridgeport Cityscape

The harbor is formed by the estuary of the Pequonnock River and Yellow Mill Pond, an inlet. Between the estuary and the pond is a peninsula, East Bridgeport, which was once the site of some of the largest manufacturing establishments (most no longer exist). West of the harbor and the river is the main portion of the city, with the wholesale section extending along the bank, the retail section farther back, and numerous factories along the line of the railway far to the West.

There are two large parks. Beardsley is in the extreme northern part of the city. Seaside is west of the harbor entrance and along the Sound. It has statues in honor of Elias Howe, who built a large sewing-machine factory in 1863; and of P.T. Barnum, the showman, who lived in Bridgeport after 1846. He contributed much to the city, especially East Bridgeport. Seaside Park also has a soldiers' and sailors' monument. In the vicinity are many upscale residences.

Cedar Creek is a lake-like tidal creek that lies between Black Rock and Seaside Park. Black Rock Harbor lies at the mouth of the creek.

The principal buildings are the two hospitals (St Vincent's and Bridgeport), the Protestant orphan asylum, the Barnum Institute (occupied by the Bridgeport Scientific and Historical Society), the Bridgeport Medical Society and the United States Customs House, which also contains a post office.

Bridgeport Fire Department

The City of Bridgeport is protected 24/7 by the full-time paid firefighters of the City of Bridgeport Fire Department. This is the only fire and rescue agency in the city and operates out of two battalions of four firehouses each, equaling eight firehouses throughout the city. Since numerous firehouses were shut down, such as Engine 2, Engine 5, Truck 3, and Engine 14 due to political problems, the Bridgeport Fire Department is one of the busiest fire departments in Fairfield County, since each firehouse covers a larger-than-normal response area. The BFD operates a apparatus roster of sixteen engine companies(including seven reserve engines and one quint), six truck companies(including two reserve trucks), one rescue company, one command unit, three marine units, and two battalion chief suv's, as well as numerous support units. The BFD's slogan is "Where the Circus Never Left Town", a pun relating to the great P.T. Barnum's Circus and the flood of fires in Bridgeport that has kept the BFD busy since the 1960's.

Bridgeport Geography And Climate

Bridgeport is located along Long Island Sound, at the mouth of the Pequonnock River.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 19.4 square miles (50.2 km²), of which, 16.0 square miles (41.4 km²) of it is land and 3.4 square miles (8.8 km²) of it (17.53%) is water. Bridgeport lies within the Humid subtropical climate belt, with warm to occasionally hot and humid summers and cold, snowy winters. Its winters are cold so it can be thought of as borderline Humid subtropical and Humid continental. The seasonal extremes are moderated by Long Island Sound. The adjacent waters result in Bridgeport being several degrees cooler in summer and slightly milder with less snowfall in winter than locations further away from the coast. The city receives 41.7 inches (1,060 mm) of precipitation and around 25.6 inches (65 cm) of snowfall in an average year. The snowiest winter on record is 1996 where Bridgeport received 76.8 inches (195 cm)

Bridgeport Government And Politics

Bridgeport is notable for having had a Socialist mayor for 24 years; Jasper McLevy served as mayor from 1933 to 1957.

Its more recent mayors, including Joseph Ganim, have been plagued with corruption scandals, reflecting a similar pattern found in other urban centers in Connecticut.

In June 2006, Mayor John M. Fabrizi admitted that he had used cocaine since taking office, but had not used cocaine for over a year.

Its status as a struggling post-industrial city marked by poverty is well-known within Connecticut, and stands out markedly from its Gold Coast neighbors.

Bridgeport History

Early years

Bridgeport's early years were marked by residents' reliance on fishing and farming, although the farm land was rocky, much like other towns in New England. The city's location on the deep Newfield Harbor fostered a boom in shipbuilding and whaling in the mid-19th century, especially after the opening of a railroad to the city in 1840.

The city rapidly industrialized in the late-19th century, when it became a manufacturing center. It produced such goods as the famous Bridgeport milling machine, brass fittings, carriages, sewing machines, brassieres, saddles, and ammunition.

Abraham Lincoln's visit

On Saturday, March 10, 1860, Abraham Lincoln spoke in the city's Washington Hall, an auditorium at what was then the Fairfield County Courthouse (now McLevy Hall), at the corner of State and Broad streets. Not only was the largest room in the city packed, but a crowd formed outside as well. Lincoln received a standing ovation before taking the 9:07 p.m. train that night back to Manhattan

A plaque marks the site where Lincoln spoke. (In 2006, just across the street, in the Polka Dot Playhouse {now known as Playhouse on the Green}, President George W. Bush spoke before a small, select group of Connecticut business people and officials about health care reform.)

Later history

By 1930, Bridgeport was a thriving industrial center with more than 500 factories. Since the late 19th century, its industrial jobs had attracted the most recent immigrants: Irish, Italians and eastern Europeans. The build-up to World War II helped its industries.

Restructuring of heavy industry starting after the mid-20th century caused the loss of thousands of jobs and residents. Like other urban centers in Connecticut, Bridgeport suffered during the deindustrialization of the United States in the 1970s and 1980s. Many middle class people sought work elsewhere, and poverty became concentrated among those who remained. Unemployment rose, crime soared, and the city became known for a major drug problem. Immigrants continued to arrive in the city because of low housing costs; some were able to find work in the area.

Former industrial sites within the city were discovered to be heavily polluted, leaving Bridgeport with extensive environmental costs and damage. Sites were abandoned, and sometimes burned by arson. Areas of the city resembled ghost towns.

In September 1978, Bridgeport teachers went on a 19-day strike due to deadlocked contract negotiations. A court order, as well as state law that made strikes illegal in Connecticut, resulted in 274 teachers being arrested and jailed

After a quarter century of troubles, in the early 21st century, Bridgeport seems to be rebounding. It is becoming a center of service industries. With long commutes and competition with expensive housing in the region, some people are moving back into the city for its more affordable housing.

Like other northeastern cities suffering from the effects of Post World War II industrial decline, Bridgeport made numerous efforts at revitalization. In one proposal Las Vegas developer Steve Wynn was to build a large casino, but that project failed to materialize.

More recently, the City of Bridgeport has taken steps to acquire the last parcels in private hands to be able to develop better packages for redevelopment. The city's many historic buildings are being renovated into residential and retail units, and offer architectural texture. Its waterfront location will be a draw.

Bridgeport Law Enforcement

There are 5 law enforcement agencies that serve Bridgeport. Two at the city level, one at the county level, and two at the state level.

City Level:

Bridgeport Police Department - The cities primary law enforcement agency, it deals with every-day things in the city from gang violence to petty theft.

Bridgeport Park Police Department - A separate department from the Bridgeport Police, this agency was formed to enforce law in Bridgeport's vast area of city parks.
County Level:

County Level:

Fairfield County Marshal - Fairfield Judicial District - This agency is responsible for judicial process and most arrest warrants in the the south eastern portion of Fairfield County that is also adjacent to the borders of the Greater Bridgeport Regional Planning Agency.

State Level:

Connecticut State Police - Responsible for highway patrol and assisting the Bridgeport Police Department when needed for situations such as stand offs.

New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority Police - Responsible for security for the New York Metropolitan Transportation Services. This agency pretty much only is in down town around the MTA train station.

Bridgeport's Major Highways

Bridgeport has several major roadways. Interstate 95 and the Route 8/Route 25 Connector meet in downtown Bridgeport. I-95 runs east-west near the coast heading towards New York City to the southwest and Providence to the northeast. Routes 8 and 25 run north-south across the city, with the two routes splitting just north of the city. Route 8 continues towards Waterbury and Torrington and Route 25 continues towards the Danbury area. Both Routes 8 and 25 connect to the Merritt Parkway in the adjacent town of Trumbull.
Other major surface arteries are U.S. 1 (the Boston Post Road), which runs east-west north of downtown, and Main Street, which runs north-south towards Trumbull center. The city also has several secondary state highways, namely, Route 127 (East Main Street), Route 130 (Connecticut Ave, Stratford Ave, Fairfield Ave and Water Street), and the Huntington Turnpike.

Bridgeport Popular Culture

The city was mentioned at the beginning of Mark Twain's novel, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court:
‘At the end of an hour we saw a far-away town sleeping in a valley by a winding river; and beyond it on a hill, a vast gray fortress, with towers and turrets, the first I had ever seen out of a picture.

‘“Bridgeport?” said I, pointing.

‘“Camelot,” said he.’


Bridgeport is mentioned occasionally on shows focusing on guns and ammunitions from the late-19h to the mid-20th centuries.

The Character Joseph Wykowski in Neil Simon's Biloxi Blues was from Bridgeport.

The Character Robert E. Hogan in Bernard Fein's television show Hogan's Heroes was from Bridgeport.

The song "157 Riverside Avenue" by REO Speedwagon mentions Bridgeport. It gets its title from the address in the nearby town of Westport where the band was staying while they recorded their first album in Bridgeport in a studio run by Paul Leka.

Bridgeprt Railroad And Ferries

The city is connected to nearby New York City by both Amtrak and Metro-North commuter trains. Many residents commute to New York jobs on these trains, and the city to some extent is developing as an outpost of New York-based workers seeking cheaper rents and larger living spaces. Connecting service is also available to Waterbury via Metro-North, and New Haven via Amtrak and Metro-North.

A ferry service runs from Bridgeport across Long Island Sound to Port Jefferson, New York; the three vessels "Grand Republic", "P.T. Barnum" and "Park City" transport both automobiles and passengers.

We are totally accountable to our listeners in that we publish our budget to everyone on our mailing list, and we also invite you to our monthly staff meetings and, in particular, the June meeting at which we discuss the budget. (...) WPKN's programming can be heard on two frequencies: 89.5 FM from our transmitter at Trumbull, CT and 88.7 FM (formally known as WPKM) at Montauk on Long Island. If you're driving eastward and you start to lose the 89.5 signal, you can tune over to 88.7 and continue to hear us until about Exit 6 on I-95 in Rhode Island."
