The last of the Warren Co. Bicentennial History Sign grants has been installed!

"Anderson is a unique community initially established specifically for African Americans in 1926. The initial 127 acres of land was owned by E.B. Birdsall and he in partnership with Henry Pollack and Percy H. Penn, designated tis area to be home for the burgeoning factory worker community. Individuals were recruited from Newark and seduced by the opportunity to secure good factory jobs in the foundries."

Anderson grew from a small, rural community of six families to a thriving lower-middle class town of 47 African American families, at its peak.

The sign is viewable on Clinton Ave. facing Asbury-Anderson Road in Mansfield Twp.
