The
City of North Adams Mass is sited in the valleys created by the confluence
of the north and south branches of the Hoosac River. It is an industrial
community with narrow twisting streets that climb steep hills. The river
valleys were known to be subject to flooding, so no large farming community
was developed in the area, but the water power of the rivers was available
for industry. In 1760, the Commonwealth sold the area to three men if they
would develop it. They did...with lumber mills exporting high quality pine
boards, grist mills, blacksmith shop, fulling mill, cut nail makers, brickyards
and textile mills.
Many settlers from Rhode Island with textile experience in power looms moved to the town, aiding in the creation of its industrial economy. Development, however, was slow because the town was cut off from the eastern portion of the state by the Hoosac Mountain Range and hampered by a lack of capital. In the late 1820's the first cotton print mill was established and in 1846 the first rail line to Pittsfield was opened. Blast furnaces and shoes were manufactured in town and the Hoosac Tunnel, direct rail line between North Adams and Fitchburg, was begun in 1851 and completed in 1875 using the city as the headquarters for the tunnel operations. North Adams Mass is located in Northwestern Massachusetts, bordered by Clarksburg on the north, Adams on the south, Florida on the east, and Williamstown on the west. North Adams is 22 miles north of Pittsfield; 133 miles northwest of Boston. |
