DOWNLOAD EBOOKNew England colonists, Wood argues, brought with them a cultural predisposition toward dispersed settlements within agricultural spaces called "towns" and "villages." Rarely compact in form, these communities did, however, encourage individual landholding. By the early nineteenth century, town centers, where meetinghouses stood, began to develop into the center villages we recognize today. Just as rural New England began its economic decline, Wood shows, romantics associated these proto-urban places with idealized colonial village communities as the source of both village form and commercial success.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBefore Norwood, Massachusetts became a town in 1872, hardy settlers from Dedham left security and comfort behind and began building homes along the Neponset River and Hawes Brook. Living in an area still known as the South Parish, these hard-working citizens fought for their values in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. The town encouraged industry and diversity, expanding its primarily agricultural base until the community could boast a stable, if ever changing, economy. Wealthy industrialists and working-class immigrants united to build this New England town and to foster its growth into the Norwood of today: a vital community that residents are proud to call home. Norwood: A History recounts stories of the visionaries produced here, such as Captain Aaron Guild, who "left plough in furrow and oxen standing" to join the April 19, 1775, battle at Lexington. The formation and success of the Civic Association and the hospital were due to the perseverance of the public-spirited population, guided by the charismatic and driven George Willett. Readers will discover how athletics helped put Norwood on the map, from the polo fields of W. Cameron Forbes to the reign of Roll-Land as one of the country's premiere roller-skating arenas. As tales of years gone by give way to progress, Norwood: A History also looks ahead to new enterprises, which have followed in the footsteps of companies such as Winslow Brothers and Smith and the Norwood Press.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Norwood, One of the Newest and Most Progressive Towns in Massachusetts, 1906: Her Industries, Past and Present, Business, Houses, Societies, and Advantages for Location Among the oldest and largest industries in Norwoodare the Winslow Bros. Smith Co. Tanneries, whose history goes back as far as 1776, or earlier, and is now a large stock company. This tanning industry deals in the conversion of hides, sheep-skins, etc., into leather, and is also interested in the wool industry. It has en joyed a steady growth from its very beginning, and is now one of the largest plants of its kind in New Eng land. The second largest ink manufactory in the world, and the second largest printers' ink producing plant in the United States, was founded here in 1869, and is now known as the George H. Morrill Co. The New York, New Haven Hartford Railroad shops give employment to a great many men and have been a very important factor in the growth and develop ment of the town in bringing here a class of intelligent, well-paid and thrifty mechanics. The Plimpton Iron Foundry was established here in 1854, by Spencer, Fuller Colburn, under the firm name of Fuller Colburn. In recent years it passed into the hands of J. Edward Plimpton. The business gives employment to many men, is growing every year, and it is generally believed that it will in the future form the nucleus for the establishment here of other and larger iron industries. The existence of these large and important indus tries, the history of which goes back, in some instances, to the days when Norwood was a mere precinct or village of the old town of Dedham, accounts for the great growth and importance of the modern town of Norwood, a town which, though only fourteen miles from a great city, is not a mere sleeping place for a few city people, but a live, progressive town with large busi ness interests), fine homes and a most intelligent, wide awake and up-to-date population, reaching out always for greater and better things. Norwood lays no claim as to being a summer resort, but it has many advantages as a place of suburban resi dence. In a good many ways it is a central point. It is one of the few important business points between Providence and Boston. It is within three miles of East Walpole, with its enormous and constantly growing paper mill industries. It has admirable steam railroad facilities, and in its splendidly kept streets and roads, and the great beauty and picturesqueness of its residen tial portions, it will take rank as one of the prettiest towns in Eastern Massachusetts. It has good water, good schools, a fine public library, and, in proportion to its size, a remarkably large school population. Its tax rate is low. It has about inhabitants, fineschool buildings, seven handsome church buildings, and eight religious parishes or societies.
