Newton was incorporated a town in 1688 being called New Cambridge until 1692; and having outgrown town government by 1873, was chartered a city in that year.


During the war with the Indians the men of Newton left their homes and families and fought with the rest of the settlers. There is a stone in Nonantum, known as the Elliot memorial, which bears this inscription: "Here at Nonantum, October 28, 1624, in Waban's Wigwam near this spot, John Elliot began to preach the gospel to the Indians. Here he founded the first Christian community of In- dians within the English colonies."


During the period of the Revolutionary War, the men of Newton rose with the other men of Massachusetts and shared the hard- ships that the crude army led by the great George Washington endured. And so history repeats itself down the ages. There are many beautiful monuments and ancient landmarks, silent tributes to the men who so nobly an- sewered the call to arms, from the early days when the settlers, fought with the Indians thru World War II.


Interesting Facts Regarding City


It is interesting to note just what Newton stands for to residents in other parts of the country. With its beautiful long avenues. its long lanes leading into beautiful wide parks, its streams and hills, its lovely gardens and artistic residences, it stands for prosperity and success. It signifies elegance and beauty. rather than fashion and display.


Although the march of time has brought changes to Newton in every part, though much of its barren land has been transformed into house lots and streets, though many of its old farm houses have been turned into modern dwellings, still Newton maintains an abundance of its natural beauty which has given it the name of the Garden City, wide- spread recognition as a City of beauty, a City of homes.


The Charles River winds its course along the northern and western boundaries for more than sixteen miles, adding utilized water power at its upper and lower falls and much beauty to the scenery for miles around. New- ton has that same New England atmosphere which characterizes so many other Massachu- setts cities, with its stable type of people whose interests are centered in their homes and the finer things of life. Each and every part of Newton typifies the modern "home City." a source of admiration to all visitors and of pride to its citizens.


Population


The best estimates of the present population of Newton indicates that it is approximately at the eighty-five thousand mark today. This shows a tremendous increase within the past decade. The steady stream of people who come to Newton yearly to make their homes here are of the thrifty, desirable sort, good citizens who soon blend into the social and civic life and share the pride of their neigh- bors in their adopted city.


Administration


The administration of Newton's city govern- ment is in the hands of safe and conservative executives, honest public-spirited citizens who have the best interests of the people at heart and in their minds. This is manifested by the high standards of administration which this city has always experienced.


Newton lias a police department of 185 em- plovees, giving it protection at all hours of the day and night. The fire department with 231 permanent men is always ready to meet every emergency. Within recent years. all new modern fire apparatus has been installed.

Educational Opportunities


One factor which has always given Newton a high standing in the estimation of those looking for a good "home city" is its superb system of schools. Since the early days of 1699, when the first little schoolhouse was built and John Staples became teacher, hold- ing his scholastic sessions four days in each week for a stipend of two shillings a day, the school system of Newton has grown nobly.


Since those early days, Newton has de- veloped tremendously along educational lines. Now there are high grade modern buildings, schools of the highest type for this purpose, with proper exits and due caution against fires and other emergencies. There are also new modern high schools, and the number of pupils that enter the High Schools has in- creased appreciably within the last decade. There also are several very fine private schools. The Lasell Junior College with its beautiful spacious grounds, established 1851, has long been famous. This young ladies academy has admitted young women from all parts of the United States and several foreign countries.


Among other well known private schools within the city are Fessenden and Mount Ida Junior College. The higher institutions of learning are represented by Boston College, in the Chestnut Hill section of city, and the Andover Newton Theological School (1825) at Newton Centre.


Newton also has a splendid plavground svs- tem which has developed tremendously with- in the last decade. There are now many beautiful spots which have been turned into playgrounds for the young. These play- grounds are in charge of very efficient young men and women and the children are taught all sorts of healthful games, while other edu- cational opportunities and interests are en- couraged and promoted.


The Public Library


Another important factor which cannot be disassociated from the school room is the Newton free library. This was organized in September 1869, and received the property of its sponsors, the Newton Library Association. In 1875 the stockholders of the association transferred the entire estate to the City of Newton. The location of the building is on Centre Street, the ancient main thoroughfare of the town. The Newton Library contains


268,085 reference books of all periods, and is continually adding to the collection. There are valuable reference books of all periods, as well as works of old and new fiction. There are also many beautiful and rare prints. There are now branch libraries in ten sections of Newton, the most recent one being that established in Oak Hill Park.


Church and Social Activities


Church influence is strong in Newton, many social and welfare activities also centering in the church organization, of which there are forty-six in the city. The first church was organized in 1633.


There are over one hundred forty clubs and fraternal organizations in the city, a Federation of Women's Clubs, Kiwanis, Lions, Rotary, and the Newton Chamber of Com- merce.


Growth


History shows that the different parts of Newton have made rapid strides in develop- ment. In 1860 Nonantum Hill had only the Ricker family on its massive western should- er. The greater part of it consisted of scrub oak, a lonely and desolate tract of land. Early in 1800 Newton Lower Falls was a tranquil little village with but ten resident families. In 1872 the village had risen to 940. A little later the village of Newton Highlands was not much more than a cross- road settlement in a region of farms. Near- by were shops of the blacksmith and wheel- wright. But today Newton is a great modern city teeming with activities, ever growing, ever expanding.


Business Activities and Opportunities


Although Newton is widely known as a residential city, it has various manufacturing activities. At Lower Falls is located one of the first paper mills established in the coun- try. In Newton there are also machine shops, and factories engaged in the manufacture of fire arms supplies, silk, worsted, plastics, rubber, paper boxes, railway signals, cordage, radio tubes, knit goods, etc.


Information regarding manufacturing op- portunities, business facilities and residential advantages will be supplied on request by the Newton Chamber of Commerce, 1171 Washington Street, West Newton 65, Massa- chusetts.

The main Library building was dedicated in June 1870, being built, furnished and main- tained for five years by interested citizens, a fund of over $65,000 being collected for this purpose by public subscription, the late J Wiley Edmands contributing $17,000. In March 1876, the entire property of the Li- brary was given to the City of Newton on condition of its maintenance, forever, as a Free Library. In 1887, a large addition was built by the City; in 1912, a four-floor book- stack with a capacity of 85,000 volumes was erected; in 1925, the top floor of the stack was completed and a three-car garage built; in December 1950, work on an addition ap- proximately 40x85 feet across the front of the present building was started. This ad- dition was completed and dedicated late in 1951 and occupied early in 1952. The cost of the addition with repairs and improve- ments to the older building was about $200,- 000. It has modernized and greatly extended the use of the first floor facilities.


In addition to the Main Library, the City of Newton has an especially strong branch library system made possible by the interest of public-spirited citizens. The West New- ton Branch Library was erected in 1926, the building and grounds valued at over $62,000 were given to the City. In January 1928, the citizens of Newton Centre and Auburndale gave new buildings and land valued at about $63,000 and $52,000 respectively. A new me- morial Children's Room was added to the facilities of the Auburndale Library in April 1949. In 1930, Waban citizens gave to the City a new branch building valued with grounds at $75,000. A fine new building costing over $100,000, the largest branch in the system was dedicated at Newtonville on December 1, 1939. The money for the valu- able site was given by Newtonville citizens, the building was erected by a P. W. A. and City project. In 1934, the residence of the late John C. Chaffin, 126 Vernon St., acquired by the City in 1930, was remodelled for a "Boys' and Girls' Library." At Lower Falls, a remodelled engine house serves as the village library. At Highlands, the adult li- brary is in a city-owned residence. At Upper


13


Falls, Oak Hill and Oak Hill Park the librar- ies are in school houses; and in Nonantum, in rented store quarters. At the Newton- Wenesiey Hospital there is a branch of the Newion Free Library. There are library halls for educational, civic, cultural meetings at Auburnuale, Newtonville and Waban, some 296 meetings were held in 1952.


The book circulation in 1952 was 744,094 volumes, of which 303,465 volumes were juvenne; 4,296 musical records were bor- rowed, extensive reading room reference ser- vice was also given. The Main Library and Branches combined subscribe to 349 titles of periodicals and newspapers or 792 copies in- cluding duplicates. There is a duplicate pay collection of recent fiction for public con- venience.
