HISTORICAL SKETCH OF NORTH ADAMS.
North Adams was separated from the mother town, Adams, about three years ago by act of the legislature. Any history, therefore, of North Adams, must necessarily be the history of Adams, a brief sketch of which is here given :
The township of Adams was originally known as East Hoosac. In 1749 it was explored and surveyed by a com- mittee appointed by the General Court, and it was for some reason laid out ten miles long and five miles broad. In the following year Captain Ephraim Williams secured a grant of 200 acres, with the conditions that he should reserve ten acres as a fort and build a grist mill and saw mill, and keep them in repair for twenty years. In 1762, the township, with nine others, was sold at auction. East Hoosac formed No. 1, and was sold to Nathan Jones for £3,200, who soon afterwards received as join proprietors with him Colonel Elisha Jones and John Murray. In Oc- tober, 1762, forty-eight settling lots, of 100 acres each, were laid out, embracing the very heart of the township, and in 1776 twenty more lots were laid out, and Israel Jones, who was then a resident, was authorized to admit sixty settlers, in accordance with the requirements of the General Court. Two years afterwards the remaining lands were apportioned among the settlers. In East Hoo- sac - on what is now the farm of R. B. Harrison - was the site of old Fort Massachusetts, of glorious memory. The town was incorporated October 15, 1778, and the first town meeting was held March 8, 1779. The principal points of settlement in the town were at the localities now known respectively as North Adams and South Adams.
North Adams has grown rapidly within the past five years, and the prospects are that the town will continue to grow in the same ratio for the next five years to come. The present population is about 10,000.

42
HISTORICAL SKETCH
The opening of the Hoosac Tunnel was undoubtedly the great cause of this growth, though the manufactories of the place have had an important share. A list of the manufactories is given elsewhere.
RAILROAD FACILITIES.
Few towns have the railroad facilities that North Ad- ams enjoys, and many predict that these advantages will result in remarkably rapid growth by inducing manufacturers to locate here for the sake of the cheap transportation of their goods. There are two competing, parallel lines to Troy and Albany - the old Troy and Boston and the Boston, Hoosac Tunnel and Western, re- cently opened. The Fitchburg road affords direct con- nection with Boston, and there is also a branch of the Boston and Albany road. It is likely to be the great rail- road town of western Massachusetts, as four railroads have their terminal facilities here.
NATURAL ATTRACTIONS.
The scenery of this town is remarkably wild and pictur- esque. The Hoosac River, entering its southern border, flows northerly and centrally through a valley of great fertility, flanked on either side by lofty mountains, to North Adams; when, on receiving the North Hoosac coming in from Clarksburg and Vermont, it bends sud- denly to the west, and passing through a narrow defile in the mountains, enters Williamstown. On Hudson Brook, which enters the north branch of the Hoosac just below the Clarksburg line, there is a very curious natural bridge of limestone. The water has cut a channel in the white marble some 15 feet wide, from 30 to 60 feet deep and 30 rods long, over which extends an arch of solid rock. In the Notch Brook there is a very beautiful cascade, which attracts the attention of the traveler. The water plunges down a precipice about forty feet, affording a vision of beauty, heightened by the loneliness of the wooded glen through which the stream pursues its way. On the right of the Hoosac valley rises the Hoosac Mountain, through which the celebrated tunnel, five miles in length, has been cut at an expense of $18,000,000. On the left of the val- ley, Greylock, the central eminence of Saddle Mountain,
43
OF NORTH ADAMS.
ascends to the commanding altitude of 3,505 feet ; being the loftiest eminence in the State.
HOTELS.
The town is well supplied with large hotels. The Wil- son House, F. E. Swift, proprietor, is the largest and finest in the State west of Springfield. It was built thirteen years ago by Mr. Wilson, of sewing-machine fame. Mr. Swift, recently returned from the Tremont House, Chi. cago, is the landlord.
The Richmond House, on State street, is next in size and importance, and its accommodations are generally sat- isfactory.
The Commercial Hotel, also on State street, is roomy and convenient, and has recently been remodeled and improved by its proprietor, John Thayer.
The Ballou House, on South State Street, is a new ho- tel, of seventy-five rooms.
BANKS AND INSTITUTIONS FOR SAVINGS.
The Adams National Bank was organized in 1832, and is the oldest institution of the kind in town. Its original capital stock of $100,000 has been increased to $500,000. In its early history it occupied a small, unpretentious building, but in 1868 it erected one of the finest blocks in the county, at a cost of over $70,000. S. Blackinton is president of the bank; E. S. Wilkinson, cashier, and Colonel C. F. Luther, teller.
The North Adams Savings Bank was organized in 1848, and has deposits amounting to $784,890. C. T. Sampson is president and V. A. Whitaker treasurer.
The Hoosac Savings Bank, incorporated in 1871, has deposits amounting to $118,370. President, O. A. Archer, treasurer, C. H. Ingalls.
The Berkshire National Bank was organized in 1878, with a capital of $100,000, which has recently been in- creased to $200,000. J. Rockwell is president, A. W. Hodge, vice-president, and C. H. Ingalls, cashier.
CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS.
North Adams has been called the " town of churches," from the fact that it has so many fine church edifices and
44
HISTORICAL SKETCH
that they are clustered together in the centre of the town. The Baptist church is the oldest in town and has a mem- bership of over 800. Rev. A. C. Osborne, formerly of New York, is pastor.
The Methodists worship in a building of almost cathe- dral-like proportions, and have a membership of nearly 700; Rev. S. Mclaughlin is pastor. The Congregation- alists have a large society, and their pastor is Rev. T. T. Munger. The Episcopalians occupy a pretty stone church and have a flourishing society. Rev. Mr. Sprague is pas- tor of the Universalist church.
The Catholics are strong in numbers and influence. The English speaking portion worship at St. Francis church, an elegant and commodious edifice. Rev. Chas. Lynch is pastor and Rev. T. M. Smith assistant pastor. The French Catholics worship in the basement of the Church of Notre Dame until the upper portion is finished. The congregation is numerous and under the pastorship of Rev. C. Crevier.
The public schools, standing among the first in the State, are the pride of the town. Besides numerous pri- mary schools in various parts of the town, there are eighteen departments in Drury Academy, illustrating the graded system and giving systematic and thorough in- struction. Graduates of the High School are fitted to en- ter the best colleges in the land. A. D. Miner is the gen- eral superintendent.
MANUFACTURING INTERESTS.
The Arnold Print Works is the leading manufacturing establishment in North Adams. They produce a great many different styles of goods every day. The weekly capacity is 750,000 yards and employment is given to over 300 hands. A. C. Houghton is the principal director.
The Johnson Manufacturing Company make fine book fold ginghams and dress goods, Scotch ginghams and seersuckers ; give employment to 100 hands and produce 150,000 yards per month.

C. T. Sampson Manufacturing Company gives employ- ment to 260 hands. Women's, misses' and children's shoes are manufactured. Mr. Sampson was the first shoe manufacturer in the country to resist the demands of the Crispins by replacing them with Chinamen, brought here from San Francisco at great expense. This important change was made in 1870, since which time Mr. Sampson has employed as many as 140 Chinamen at one time. The capacity of this factory is from 1,500 to 1,800 pairs of shoes per day, which are sold largely in the West and South.
Cady Brothers make 725 pairs per day of machine- sewed, cable-wire and pegged shoes for women's, misses' and children's wear.
Whitman & Millard make women's and misses' fine sewed and pegged shoes ; daily production 1,200 pairs.
James Hunter & Son, iron founders and machinists, are the manufacturers of " Hunter's Improved French Rotary Fulling Mill," of a celebrated cloth washer, and make steam engines and feed-pumps for steam-engines.
The Phoenix Mills were established in 1860 by M. D. & A. W. Hodge, and are among the most extensive manu- facturers of flour in the State.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The town has a fine water supply, coming directly from the mountains.
North Adams is only five miles from Williamstown,
46
HISTORICAL SKETCH
the seat of Williams College, and one of the most charm- ing mountain villages in the country. Greylock Hall, a celebrated summer hotel, is also in this vicinity; and, indeed, the whole section is a favorite resort for summer visitors and tourists.
There are numerous secret societies, all in a flourishing condition, there being two very large lodges of Free Ma- sons ; and one chapter; one Odd Fellows Lodge, one of the " Knights of Honor," one "Order of Foresters" with a full quoto of Temperance and other societies.
The town is well supplied with large and handsome halls, the people patronize entertainments of a high order very liberally, and are particularly well "up" in musical matters.
The town has three weekly newspapers - the Adams Transcript, the Hoosac Valley News, and the Saturday Freeman.
The soldiers monument on Main street is a fitting trib- ute to the fallen sons of '61 and was designed and executed by C. Niles Pike.
The North Adams Gaslight Co., was incorporated in 1864 with a capital of $50.000. the quality of gas is first class being of 18 candle power and manufactured only from Penn'a Gas coal.
The North Adams Library Association is located in Martin block and is in a flourishing condition with Geo. M. Mowbray as its President.
" The Adams Club," is the social organization of North Adams, and is composed of the most respected and prominent manufacturers and merchants. Their rooms in Martin Block have recently been frescoed, carpeted and papered in the most elegant style, and are unexcelled in their beauty and appointments by any similar organization in the State.
The manufacturers and merchants have recently organ- ized a "Board of Trade " of which Geo. M. Mowbray Esq., is the president. A full list of officers will be found else- where.
THE MERCANTILE INTERESTS.
North Adams may justly be proud of the extent and variety of its mercantile interests, as well as the notable integrity of its merchants.
47
OF NORTH ADAMS.
The retail trade is so varied and extensive that we will be compelled to refer to the classified Business Directory, which will be found complete in the pages following the list of residents.
It will be sufficient, to say that it meets all the require- ments of its rapidly growing population, so that it will not be found necessary to go outside of its corporate limits for the necessaries or luxuries of life, which are furnished in abundance at the lowest Boston and New York prices.
In preparing the foregoing sketch, it has been our aim to be reliable, and hope in the future, as in the past, to improve upon our previous efforts.
