'Turnback Tuesday' features Hotchkiss Hose 100th anniversary ribbon

Turnback Tuesday is sharing one of the artifacts in Derby Public Library’s collection: A delegate pin/ribbon from the Firemen’s Convention held in Derby in August 1937, the year Hotchkiss Hose celebrated 100 years.

Hotchkiss Hose #1 was formed on June 7, 1837 by Edward N. Shelton, Julius Hotchkiss, Ephraim Curtiss and Edward Lewis.

The first headquarters was in a barn owned by L. Loomer on the corner of Third and Minerva Streets in Derby.

The current location is on David Humphreys Road. Hotchkiss Hose has been serving the citizens and businesses of Derby for 188 years. Thank you. 

Thanks as always to Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
