This book about Westford describes the effect of the mills'' demise in the 1950s, and chronicles the town's recent development into a very appealing bedroom community for workers in Boston.


From its incorporation in 1729 through the late nineteenth century, Westford, Massachusetts, was a farming community sparsely populated by families of English ancestry. But in the first years of the twentieth century, a significant change occurred in Westford when mills that had opened in the town''s Forge Village and Graniteville sections began to recruit workers from Russia, Poland, England, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, and Canada. Westford depicts what the arrival of the mills and the mill workers meant to the town and its evolution in the twentieth century.

About the Author
The Westford League of Women Voters: - Accepting and appreciating the diversity of newcomers'--whether immigrants from foreign lands or merely out-of-towners looking for a convenient place to relocate'--has not always been easy for Westford. In the late 1970s, the Westford League of Women Voters put together a slide-tape history of the town in old photographs. That presentation, which emphasized the town''s potential as a vibrant, diverse community of residents working together, formed the basis for this exciting new volume. Residents and historians alike will surely delight in the League''s thoughtful and enduring compilation, produced under the guidance of League members Ellen Harde and Beth Shaw.
