In Clifton, founded in 1917, far-flung western farms were transformed into a new suburbia. The pace of growth was so fast that, decades later, one official would bluntly say, \"Clifton wasn't planned. It just happened.\" Decades earlier, there had been a false start. In Clifton's Allwood, a development of a promised 4,500 Tudor-style homes, construction was interrupted, as elsewhere, by the onslaught of the Great Depression. But the boomtown years would come. People who called this 12-square-mile town home were a reflection of the times and swelled with pride as they cheered the high-energy, high-stepping Clifton Mustang Band and as they watched the 1967 jubilee parade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9.61 x 6.69 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 07, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42167607623815,"sku":"9781531630799","price":34.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/09d52d8a8ba0822354e655bcedbee68e.webp?v=1733328972","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/clifton-the-boomtown-years-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
