"The 1950's was the vital link to actually today," said Gerald Smith, Broome County Historian. "Even though it was 60 years ago, it transformed the way we looked at ourselves. It was stable, but also a great time of change."
"The population in Broome County was at its peak with nearly 200,000 people."
"Endicott-Johnson was at its prime in the decade. It employed more than 20,000 people. Most of EJ's presence was in Johnson City with facilities in Endicott as well.
Also in Endicott, IBM was just taking off in the 1950s.
"IBM was growing and growing and growing plus we had a lot of other companies," he said
Link Aviation was still in the area in 1950. General Electric was in the town of Union in the Westover plant that was more recently known to house BAE Systems.
Many large companies in the Southern Tier led to lots of retail businesses in the downtown area of Binghamton, Johnson City and Endicott."
"The suburbs in the 50s began to expand outward as people had cars again after World War II. "
