Historic Map - Haverhill, MA - 1914
Description
This aero-view print of Haverhill, Massachusetts was drawn and published by Fowler & Downs in 1914. Haverhill, located along the Merrimack River, evolved from a farming and ship-building town, into a major shoe-making city in the 1700's.
By the early 1900's, the shoe making industry dominated Haverhill. Known for the advancement of turned and welt shoes, Haverhill manufacturers also produced ladies’ and gents’ dress shoes, boots and slippers. Haverhill was named Queen Slipper City during this era. Tanneries of the town produced quality leathers for use in the factories and slipper trimmings, soles, heels and shoemaking hardware factories formed the necessary foundational supplies for the industry. Hat making was also done on a large scale in Haverhill.
