| Longmeadow is an affluent suburban town on the primary corridor between
Springfield and Hartford. The town was settled by Springfield residents in
the late 1640's and agriculture was the main colonial pursuit. Townspeople
continued to turn towards Springfield for industrial, religious and
educational needs until 1716, since Longmeadow's lack of much fertile land
and water power sources inhibited the commercial and industrial growth of
the town. In 1716, however, the first meetinghouse in town was built near
the junction of Longmeadow and Williams Streets and the town's first
cemetery followed immediately after.
Only for one short period in the mid-19th century did Longmeadow show some
significant industrial development, when the manufacture of gold and silver
thimbles, spectacles, cloth-covered buttons and bricks provided non-farm
jobs in the town. The lack of major industrial` capacity may have
contributed to the town's gaining the 20th century reputation as being the
most desirable of all Springfield's residential suburbs.
Growing as a suburban bedroom community, Longmeadow gained over 4,000
people between 1915 and 1940 and its character as an entirely residential
community was established. The town retains handsome Colonial and Federal
period houses around the green and historic 19th century houses in the
estate district of Forest Park. |
