Holyoke, Massachusetts is located
Western Massachusetts in the Connecticut River Valley. Bordered by West
Springfield on the south; Westfield, Southampton, and Easthampton on the west;
and separated from South Hadley and Chicopee by the Connecticut River on the
east. Holyoke is 90 miles west of Boston; 34 miles north of Hartford,
Connecticut; and 142 miles from New York City. Principal highways are U.S. Route 5 and Interstate Route 91 going N-S, and
the Massachusetts Turnpike (Interstate Route 90) running E-W. Interchange
No. 4 is located almost on the southern border of Holyoke. Amtrak passenger rail service is available from nearby Springfield. The
Pioneer Valley Railroad (PVRR) and the Springfield Terminal Railway (STRR)
provide freight service and interchange traffic in Holyoke. The PVRR
operates a warehouse and distribution facility in the city. Contact
numbers: PVRR (413) 568-3331; STRR (508) 663-1073.

| The City of Holyoke is located by the Connecticut River where the first of
several dams was constructed in 1848 to take advantage of a 57-foot drop in
the river level. The water power created by the dam was transferred to new
industrial sites along 7.5 miles of hand dug canals. At one point, more
than 25 paper mills were in operation in Holyoke, annually producing the
greatest tonnage of paper of any city in the world. Although only one
company continues to manufacture paper, the dam, canals and much of the
industrial and commercial architecture remain intact. Owing to the city's
excellent location at the junction of Routes I-90 and I-91, the reuse of
many buildings has proved to be economically feasible.
The game of volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan at the
Holyoke YMCA and the city is rightly claimed to be the "Birthplace of
Volleyball". Recreational attractions include the Volleyball Hall of Fame,
the Wistariahurst Museum and the Children's Museum, and Holyoke Heritage State
Park where the former Mt. Park Merry-Go-Round is permanently housed.
The State Park also hosts "Celebrate Holyoke", an annual three-day event
which brings visitors from around the region to enjoy nationally known
performers. Residents feel Holyoke is rightfully described as "The Best City
by a Dam Site." |
