Monson MA Community Profile & History
Monson, Massachusetts is nestled in the Chicopee River valley between steep and rocky hills to the east and west. The difficulty of traveling over the hills to the center of Brimfield prompted the region's early settlers to petition the court for permission to form a new town. Permission was granted and Monson was officially incorporated in 1760.
An industrial economy flourished in the town's early days; waterpower was abundant and small mills were scattered over Monson's 48 square miles. A hat factory, several woolen and cotton mills and the Flynt Granite Company all thrived for more than 100 years. A.D. Ellis Mills, Inc., known world-wide for its fine woolen cloth, was the last to leave, closing about thirty years ago.
These industries have been replaced in part by the plastics industry and by Zero Manufacturing Company. Monson Developmental Center has been the town's largest employer for many years. This facility, housing severely handicapped residents, has a pleasant campus setting on 700 acres of land.
Memorial Hall, built in 1884 from Monson granite, anchors the southern end of a National Register Historic Commercial District. The building houses a fine Civil War Museum and auditorium. Other museums include the restored 1811 home of attorney Jacob Thompson and a 58 acre farm housing the only known Button museum. This property adjoins the 128 acre Flynt Park, which offers opportunities for bird and foliage tours, picnics and passive recreation.
