DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The History of Florence, Massachusetts: Including a Complete Account of the Northampton Association of Education and Industry Three years ago, upon the suggestion of a friend, a book illustrating the picturesque attractions of the village was conceived, and a beginning made. As no one could be found to contribute an adequate historical sketch, the writer reluctantly assumed the task. A little research revealed a mine of material as yet undisturbed by the historian's pickaxe, which made it apparent that something more comprehensive than a mere Sketch was needed, and the result is the history that forms Part I. However, the original idea of giving variety to the text by having many contribute has not been abandoned, but instead of the six articles. At first projected, the number has been in creased to thirty-seven. We take pleasure in acknowledging our great indebtedness to the researches of Sylvester Judd, Esq., and to the files of the Gazelle, which have yielded valuable material. Other sources of information have been the town and county records, the manuscript documents of the old Community, and the memories of aged persons. We are under special obligations to our contributors, whose assistance has added much to the value of the work.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 1852, the community that began as Broughton's Meadow officially became the Village of Florence. This small, New England community prospered with the rise of the silk industry and its businesses, such as the Northampton Silk Company, the Nonotuck Silk Company, and Corticelli Silk Mills. Local mills and factories manufactured goods that were shipped around the world while local shops and storefronts continued to grow and change the face of the village. The population expanded due to the success of companies like the Florence Casket Company and Florence Savings, which created more jobs. By the turn of the 20th century, Florence was well established with over 3,500 residents. The community had several churches, a modern schoolhouse, the Lilly Library, a thriving business center, and its own trolley line, which ran to and from Northampton. Florence provides a look at the residents, businesses, and organizations that came to shape the life of this community.
