Westminster MA Community Profile & History
Westminster, Massachusetts is a suburban hill town which was originally the six-square mile Narragansett Township Number 2, granted to veterans and heirs of veterans of King Philip's War in 1728. Every homeowner was a farmer in those early days and some set up sawmills, grain mills and shops to provide other necessities.
Westminster became a bustling industrial community with chair manufacturing being the chief occupation, in addition to paper and textile mills and brickmaking. When the railroad constructed their tracks only in the northern part of town, most businesses needing access moved to Gardner or Fitchburg leaving the town without major industry and enabling the center of Westminster to remain much as it was at the turn of the century, and thus to maintain its quaint New England country charm and flavor.
In the early 20th century, townspeople made chairs and manufactured paper while an unusually large influx of Finnish immigrants took over the old farms in town and settled into an agricultural lifestyle. Today's industries are diverse - from small family owned businesses to large corporations.
Suburban development of the town on attractive lakeside sites and in sections of town with views of Wachusett Mountain has been a key focus of Westminster's modern day growth. Residents value the rural and historic character of their town with it's natural beauty and prime location, and they take pride in participating in the social and governmental affairs of the town.
