Keebler Rd Namesake
A hobo village existed along the railroad at the edge of Bridgeport, under the P&W tracks. Wild dogs would kill the farmers' sheep. Mr. Keebler, Game Warden, was appointed to keep them under control. He lived on his farm where the High School and Middle School are located today.
