Описание: Excerpt from Address Upon the Celebration of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Adoption by the General Court of a Resolve Vesting the Inhabitants of Worcester With the Powers and Privileges of Other Towns Within the Province: Mechanics Hall, Worcester, Massachusetts, Wednesday, June 14, 1922

This conversation must have occurred about 1830. It is hard to realize that William A. Wheeler, who is credited with having installed in 1825, in Worcester, the first steam engine in the state west of Boston, should have discarded it and used horse power until 1840 when he put in another engine. William T. Merrifield, at the same time put in an engine Of from four to six horse power. These were probably the first efficient steam engines in Worcester. Beginning, however, in 1830 and particularly after 1835, when the railroad was opened to Boston, the industrial growth Of Worcester has been steady and rapid. The Blackstone Canal connected Worcester and Providence and was in active operation from 1828 until 1848. We were connected by rail with the western part Of the state in 1839; with New London in 1840; with Nashua in 1846; with Providence in 1848; with Winchendon in 1874. It will thus be seen that from an early day Worcester had the advantages of the best railroad facilities. TO this and to the general introduction Of steam power is to be most largely attributed her rapid growth as a manufacturing city.
