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.

In an ironic twist, urbanization and development in the greater Boston area created several expansive wilderness areas in central Massachusetts during the twentieth century.
