Shrewsbury Through Time

For most of its history, the town of Shrewsbury was a small farming village with virtually no industry to speak of. The railroad didn’t pass through the area either, making town less attractive to business interests. This all began to change around the First World War era, with large numbers of immigrants moving to town. New neighbourhoods sprang up almost overnight, necessitating the building of more schools, roads, and homes.

Worcester Through Time

Worcester, which has long been known as the ‘Heart of the Commonwealth’, developed a diverse industrial base during the last half of the nineteenth century. Diversity was a magnet for drawing immigrants from all parts of the world to work in the industries, resulting in the development of many ethnic neighborhoods. This immigration helped to fuel growth that saw the city leap from 58,291 in 1880 to 179,754 in 1920.

Quabbin Reservoir Through Time

In an ironic twist, urbanization and development in the greater Boston area created several expansive wilderness areas in central Massachusetts during the twentieth century. When the Quabbin Reservoir was built during the 1930s as the primary water supply for eastern Massachusetts, four towns and other villages in the Swift River Valley were abandoned and flooded, displacing thousands of residents.
