Circa 1920

Circa 1920, this scene shows the intersection of East Main Street and Hartford Avenue. For a time in the late 1930's, Centerburg had only one traffic light, mounted on a pole in the middle of the street at what is now the center light of the three current lights. It was most likely the first traffic light in town, installed to deal with increased road travel. The light was very unusual, was fondly remembered by many people, and had information on its base giving local directions and mileage on all four sides.
