The City of Woburn Massachusetts
occupies 13.1 miles of the Fells Upland and is a suburban industrial city
located along the upper Mystic Valley. Incorporated in 1642, Woburn became
an early manufacturing center, tanning leather and making shoes. Production
was large enough so that during the King Philip's Wars, town taxes were
partially paid in shoes. The smallpox epidemic of 1675 cut deeply into
the town's population.
The Middlesex Canal from Boston opened in 1803 and the Boston and Lowell Railroad in 1835. Woburn continued to make boots and shoes and in 1855 made $280,000 in footwear, but by 1865 there had been a shift away from manufacturing shoes and toward the production of leather. In that year alone, the tanneries of Woburn shipped $1.7 million of leather and Woburn was at the head of the tanning industry in the country. Immigrants from Ireland, Nova Scotia and Canada moved to Woburn to take the jobs in the tanneries and in 1884, 26 large tanneries employed 1500 men producing $4.5 million worth of leather. Henry Thayer of Woburn originated chrome tanning, which took the place of bark tanning, in 1901. Woburn Mass is located in Eastern Massachusetts, bordered by Wilmington on the north, Reading and Stoneham on the east, Winchester on the south, Lexington on the southwest, and Burlington on the west. Woburn is 10 miles north of Boston, 10 miles north of Waltham, 16 miles south of Lowell, and 218 miles from New York City. |
