| The Town of Palmer is made up of four separate and distinct villages; Depot
Village, Thorndike Village, Three Rivers and Bondsville. There are four
separate water districts, three separate fire departments and four separate
village centers. In addition, there are some agricultural areas. The
villages began to develop their distinctive characters in the 18th century,
and by the 19th century when two rail lines and a trolley line opened the
town to population growth, newcomers generally migrated to the village that
appealed to them.
John King was the first settler in Palmer, building his home in 1716 on the
banks of the Chicopee River. He was followed by a large group of
Scottish-Irish Presbyterians who arrived and put down their roots in 1727.
Depot Village has been the main commercial and business center for 125
years. Bondsville is the site of much of the town's industry, beginning in
the 18th century when the first saw and grist mills were established. By
1825, textile production began in town with a woolen mill. The Blanchard
Scythe Factory, Wright Wire Woolen Mills and the Holden-Fuller Woolen Mills
developed major industrial capacity in Palmer and constructed a large
amount of workers housing. By 1900 a company like Boston Duck which made
heavy cotton fabric, had housed 500 employees in the town in workers
housing which remains as part of the town fabric. |
