Night Watchmen

This page updated November 4, 2005




With the arrival of the various factories, the occupation of the night watchman was created. This man would remain on the premises to guard against thieves, break-ins and the like. The nightwatchman was not much different from the town crier of old. The nightwatchmen in a sense date back to the days of Paul Revere with "one if by land".
