Historic Map - Monson, MA - 1879
Description
View of Monson, Hampden County, M.A., 1879 / drawn & published by O. H. Bailey & Co.
This hand-colored bird’s-eye view print of Monson, Massachusetts was drawn and published by O. H. Bailey & Co. in 1879. Monson was settled in 1715 and incorporated in 1775. In the mid-1800's when the railroad was built right through town,
Monson began it transformation from farming community into industrial center. Existing saw, woolen and grist mills were now able to ship goods more easily. This led to expansion of the mills and much growth to the town.
Granite was quarried from the hills nearby and reached by a branch of the railroad. The granite was used in Monson buildings and foundations.
In the late 1800's, Monson maintained a number of hat manufactories.
The illustration includes labeled roads, buildings, waterways and railroad route. Displayed at the bottom are illustrations of Merrick, Fay & Co’s Straw Works, Green’s Hotel and Reynolds Woolen Mills.
