{"product_id":"lakeport-9780738590462","title":"Lakeport","description":"Originally, the neighborhood now known as Lakeport was part\u003cbr\u003eof Meredith on one side of the Winnipesaukee River and of\u003cbr\u003eGilmanton (Gilford after 1812) on the other. This manufacturing, \u003cbr\u003ecommercial, and port settlement once called Lake Village became\u003cbr\u003epart of the city in Laconia in 1893. The area around today s Lakeport\u003cbr\u003eDam became the site of sawmills and gristmills for the Euro-American\u003cbr\u003esettlers of the late 1760s. By the mid-1800s, textile and hosiery mills, \u003cbr\u003efactories, foundries, and machine shops had grown up around the\u003cbr\u003eabundant waterpower of the dam.\u003cbr\u003eWith the coming of the railroad in 1848, Lake Village became\u003cbr\u003ean important railroad town with repair shops, a roadhouse, and\u003cbr\u003ehomes for scores of railroad workers. Beginning in the mid-1800s, boat\u003cbr\u003ebuilding especially of lake steamers was also an important industry.\u003cbr\u003eJust before joining with the town of Laconia, Lake Village renamed\u003cbr\u003eitself Lakeport. By then, the two communities had expanded toward\u003cbr\u003eeach other, forming one continuous urban neighborhood.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738590462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 0.40d","brand":"Warren D.
