East Longmeadow was part of a new sub-division of homes built in the mid-1950s during a boom time for Trenton. In 1950, the U.S. census listed the population of Trenton as 6,222 people; by 1955, it was 8,350 people and growing. By the time of the 1980 census, Trenton's population was 22,762 people.
The 1956 city directory has only two homes listed on East Longmeadow (1773 & 1784) with the rest of the homes on the street not yet built or under construction. (Some of those 1956 "under construction" address numbers don't appear to match up with existing houses, so some of those may be in error, as noted below.) The 1958 directory has 26 names listed as living on East Longmeadow. A similar situation existed with the street next to it, Woodside, which also had only two homes listed in the 1956 directory: Angelo Orlandi at 1741 and Thomas D. Edwards at 1800 Woodside.
