The
Town of Needham Massachusetts is located on rocky uplands within a loop
of the Charles River, almost isolated from the surrounding countryside.
Though the area was used for some grazing by Dedham residents and some
land grants were made, the river served as an effective barrier and the
town was slow to develop. Early settlers relied primarily on agriculture
and grazing plus some winter lumbering with orchards and tanneries as supplements.
Saw mills and grist mills were opened by a number of settlers along the
Charles through the 18th century. Extension of the railroad and land speculation
encouraged settlement, and the town saw the growth of industrial employment
and production at the same time during the mid-19th century. Needham manufacturers
made knit goods, underwear, hats, shoes and silk, although attempts to
cultivate silk worms were short-lived.
Land speculation, housing development and knitted underwear continued to be the foundation of Needham's economy into the 20th century, with the famous William Carter Corporation prominent in the children's knitwear industry. The construction of Route 128 in 1931 opened portions of the town to development as part of the hi-tech highway in the post-World War II electronic industrial boom. Modern Needham remains a pleasant heavily suburban community with good access to Boston for commuters and a significant number of local job slots. Needham Mass is located in Eastern Massachusetts, bordered by Wellesley on the west and northwest, Newton on the north and northeast, the West Roxbury section of Boston on the east, Dedham on the southeast and south, and Westwood and Dover on the south. Needham is 10 miles southwest of Boston. |
