 What is Historic Afton Square In Cradock? 
The Cradock community was established in 1918 to provide housing for shipyard workers during World War I. As part of that development, Afton Square was designed as one of the first planned, self-contained shopping centers built in America. Another benefit - Cradock had electric lights and telephones before the City of Portsmouth! Today, the Cradock community features shops, food establishments, a post office, fire station, library, and a gazebo in Afton Square. We have special events throughout the year to celebrate spring, July 4th, fall and Christmas. Come meet the people who keep the values of our hometown spirit alive. Experience the history and serenity, and revisit the memories that bond us as we work towards a renaissance in historic Afton Square.
