A History of Westbury, Long Island
Richard Panchyk
Author Richard Panchyk narrates the dramatic transformation of Westbury, a once-agricultural hamlet founded in 1670 by Quakers. Little more than a country town until the early twentieth century, Westbury changed overnight as titans of industry and finance embarked on a frenzied pace of building and development—mansions,
resorts, even a racetrack and an airport—catapulting the community into modern times. |

Saratoga Springs, New York: A Brief History
Timothy Holmes
The springs of Saratoga had already established the city as the center of a thriving wellness trade when a thrill-seeking public demanded more excitement. Gambling and horse racing flourished, eventually giving the city a reputation for wickedness and seedy splendor. Today, after decades in which economic and societal changes seemed to write the city a death sentence, Saratoga has recaptured the verve of the earlier age, reinvigorated by new people and fresh ideas.
