About Madison
Originally settled by Europeans around 1641, Madison was called East Guilford throughout the 18th century, but when it was formally incorporated as a town in 1826, it was renamed Madison in honor of James Madison, the fourth President of the United States.
Speaking of former Presidents, Bill Clinton singled out Madison in his 2004 memoir, My Life, referring to the town as an “especially old and beautiful” favorite from his time at neighboring Yale University.
In a further link (of sorts) to a former U.S. President, the E.C. Scranton Memorial Library in Madison was given as a gift to the townspeople by Mary Scranton in 1801, with the original building being designed by architect Henry Bacon, who went on to design the famous and iconic Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.
Bill Clinton got himself in a lot of trouble (almost losing his Presidency in the process) by taking advantage of a young and naive staff member in the White House, then lying about it under oath when discovered. But we here at SURE LOCK & KEY would never dream of taking advantage of nor lying to our valued customers as we strive earnestly to bring them the very best local residential, commercial, and automotive locksmith service imaginable near you.
