For a century and a half, Montclair has been known as one of America's most attractive residential suburbs. Yet for an equally long period, it was a simple, rural settlement. Some of the finest homes are shown in these pages. As one historian put it, when the trains came in 1856 they completely changed the character of our town from a sparsely settled agricultural region to a community of elegant suburban homes.

Montclair presents various aspects of the town, from Washington's Headquarters, to Italian immigrants laying pipes, to the No. 29 trolley climbing past the Food Fair.
