- What occurred
- The St. John Wood Working Company, originally named Fox and St. John, opening in 1853 to match the heavy demand of the fast-building city of Stamford. The name was changed to Hoyt and St. John, then Hoyt, Getman & Judd. The company was stationed at the canal dock where they were able to load boats with their productions for transport around the city. As owners changed and the company got bigger, the manufacturing and mercantile segments of the business were separated, the name Hoyt was dropped, and St. John Wood Working Company was the last name to apply, run by Getman & Judd until 1965. The company was so large that it employed 150-200 men and supplied wood all over New England, and largely into New York City.
