Download or read book Northborough Through Time written by Ellen Racine and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early in its 250 year history Northborough presented a varied environment. The town's rich soils supported family farms while its location on the Assabet River encouraged water powered manufacturing. Positioned on the main thoroughfares from Boston to points west, it supported transportation of agricultural products, manufactured goods, and even military armaments. The growing population's needs were met by local shopkeepers, doctors, and bankers. Primarily viewed as a residential community, Northborough today is enhanced by a vibrant mix of commercial establishments. Excellent fruit and vegetable farms, though fewer in number, are highly visible. The saw and textile mills, comb and button factories have been replaced with businesses that address modern needs. With a surging population, shops have been replaced by stores of growing size and number. The major roads that cross the town enable active warehouse and shipping operations that carry freight along the same basic routes that were once used by oxen. While much has changed in fairly dramatic fashion, one can still see threads of the past as we enter our 2016 Sestercentennial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Northborough History It may very properly be said that this volume came into being as a result of the celebration of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Incorporation of the Town of Northborough, Mass., which was held August 16 and 17, 1916. The celebration, which presented many interesting and beautiful features - historical and otherwise - was a success in every particular, and called forth much favorable comment from the strangers within our gates. Soon it began to dawn upon the citizens of Northborough that they had staged something worth while, and that the event should be suitably recorded in book form so as not to pass out of the mind of man. This sentiment had become so general that many prominent citizens of the town requested the Business Men's Committee to bring the matter before the General Committee for consideration. Accordingly, at the final meeting of the Business Men's Committee, held October 9, 1916, a committee consisting of George A. Brigham, Herbert L. Kimball, and Clarence E. Buckley, was elected to draw up a set of resolutions recommending that the General Committee prepare a suitable record of the celebration for preservation and for distribution to the inhabitants of the town. These resolutions were presented to the General Committee at a meeting held October 25, 1916, and after a general discussion were acted upon as follows: viz. - "Moved and voted that a committee of three be elected to prepare and have printed, in suitable form, a history of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary celebration, said committee to have full power to proceed in accordance with their best judgment to carry same to completion. The following committee was elected: Dr. Josiah M. Stanley Rev. Josiah C. Kent Dr. John L. Coffin" At first thought it seemed a simple matter to collect the data and arrange them in proper form for publication. But when it was discovered that the history of the anniversary was really a history of the town - made so by the character and scope of Rev. J.C. Kent's address - the committee began to realize the magnitude of the task which they had been called upon to perform. Mr. Kent was the orator of the occasion, and his oration was a resume of Northborough's history, from the time of her earliest settler to the time of her anniversary.

Download or read book Northborough written by Northborough Historical Society and published by Arcadia Library Editions. This book was released on 2000-06 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once part of Marlborough and later of Westborough, Northborough declared its independence in 1766, ten years before the American colonies did the same. It has since grown from a country village to a town in little danger of becoming either a city or a suburb. Always alert to the concerns of the larger world, Northborough sees its central location in Massachusetts and New England as presenting both opportunities for its enrichment and challenges to its integrity. The town's accessibility makes it attractive to newcomers, but it has stoutly resisted runaway commercial or industrial development and has striven to remain neighborly. This book, while offering a few glances back at Northborough's first century, concentrates on its second. At the beginning of that century, Northborough built its new town hall not on a church green as before but on the nearby Boston Post Road, thus encouraging a true Main Street. At its end an interstate highway sliced across the town's northern section, thereby redefining that Main Street. Northborough life during that century appears here in all its variety: a people at home, at work, at school, at worship, and at leisure.
