[edit] Structure of article
I recognise the style evolved from a list of dates and events! On a much smaller scale I had the same structure on Airdrie Public Observatory before copying the important bits to the top of the article under their own Level 2 headings, but also leaving the "Chronology" section with sub-sections for the years of interest.
This gives the best of both worlds; I've inserted a Level 2 "History" section, under the History section important/significant/interesting stuff can by written about more expansively without keeping to an inflexible chronological flow; under the Chronology section the time-line can be illicited while the text can be really pared back allowing the reader a quick read without being burdened by prose.
Keep the prose to the top under a suitable heading.
Have only bare facts in under the Chronology subheadings.
