Roswell Fire Progress Then and Now Highlight Main Street Change
Roswell images contrast old and modern progress. Antique fire equipment and horse drawn engines gave way to paid, modern gear and swift apparatus. Main Street evolved from muddy streets and wooden walks to a paved avenue with lights and shops. The artesian well era and wool trade mark early prosperity, while 1900 census shows Roswell passing 2000 residents as surrounding land seemed vast yet fertile.
