The Town of Florida Massachusetts
is a village on the summit of the Green Mountain range, in the northwest
corner of Berkshire County. Quiet and peaceful now, the town was once a
boom town as the staging site for construction of a tunnel through Hoosac
Mountain.
It is largely bordered by the Deerfield River and is a succession of hills and valleys containing some of the highest peaks in Massachusetts. Winter is long and cold in Florida and during the Revolution when a band of troops tried to cross over the mountain in winter they almost perished of cold and exposure. The first settler in Florida was Dr. Daniel Nelson from Stamford, Connecticut, who arrived in 1783. The doctor came by horseback from Longmeadow and settled on a homestead on the Deerfield River. The town may have chosen its name, some historians conjecture, because at the time it was named the most general topic of conversation was the purchase by the United States of the territory of Florida from the Spanish. A tourist guide to the Berkshires of 1889 describes the town as having elevations of 1,000' to 1400' and of containing drives that "are grandly panoramic". From the top of Hoosac Mountain the view shows Mt. Graylock, Mt. Adams, the Hoosic River, villages, railroads and towns spilling down the slopes of the hills. Florida contains one of the famous waterfalls of the Berkshires, the Twin Cascades. Florida's first boom time came in the second half of the 19th century, when in order to complete the rail link between Boston and West. Florida Massachusetts is located in Located in Northwestern Massachusetts, bordered by Stamford, Vermont, and Monroe on the north; Rowe and Charlemont on the east; Savoy on the south; and North Adams and Clarksburg on the west. Florida is 28 miles north of Pittsfield and 127 miles northwest of Boston. |
