Historic Map - Uxbridge, MA - 1880
Description
View of Uxbridge, Worcester County, M.A., 1880 / drawn & published by H. B. Bigelow.
This bird’s-eye view print of Uxbridge, Massachusetts was drawn and published by H. B. Bigelow, Beck & Pauli, Lith. in 1880. Uxbridge was incorporated in 1727 in the Blackstone River Valley. Its early history revolved around the famous Taft political family.
A bridge across the river at that location led to Providence, making Uxbridge a natural stop-over. Uxbridge received further attention following the construction of the Blackstone Canal in the early 1800's. The canal conveniently put Uxbridge midway between Worcester and Providence along the two-day trip.
Uxbridge was an early-on adaptor to manufacturing interests, having a number of textile and grist mills. When the Providence & Worcester Railroad was built through town, in the 1840's, the fine woolen and cotton products produced at the mills of Uxbridge received much notice and their production increased greatly.
The illustration includes labeled roads, buildings, waterways and railroad route. There are featured illustrations of the following:
• James Whitings, Cotton Mills.
• C. A. & S. M. Wheelock, Fancy Cassimeres.
