The Story of Englewood
Chapter 3
On the night of April 4th 1784, the plan to construct a lighthouse in Englewood was approved. Due to the large number of shipwrecks in the foggy Chester Bay, a lighthouse was considered necessary in order to prevent any future wrecks. Other important meetings were happening around the same time as well about the future of Englewood and the English colony of Aurylia.
Meetings about the flag, anthem and other patriotic things were being discussed.

On May the 11th 1787, construction of the Pierres Noirs (Black Rocks) lighthouse was complete.

This is a photo of the Enlgewood region in 1787. As you can see, agriculture was a very large part of the workforce.

That's all for today, stay tuned for more!
