About Palmer, Massachusetts
Palmer is a city of 12,448 people in Hampden County. It is the smallest city by population in Massachusetts, though its official name still begins with "The town of." The land was first part of Brimfield. In 1716 John King, who came from Edwardstone in Suffolk, England, built a house beside the Quaboag River on ground known as the Elbow Tract, and a large party of Scots-Irish Presbyterians followed in 1727.
The young settlement went by several names. A 1731 deed called it New Marlborough, residents called it Kingsfield after King, and some General Court papers still said the Elbow. It became Palmer in 1752, honoring John Palmer, who had served as chief justice of the Dominion of New England's Superior Court, and Massachusetts incorporated the town in 1775.
- Mills on the riversSettlers put the rivers to work in the 1700s with sawmills and gristmills, and by 1825 Palmer's woolen mills were weaving cloth. The Holden-Fuller Woolen Mills, the Blanchard Scythe Factory and the Wright Wire Woolen Mills grew into big employers and put up housing for their workers. In the 20th century, most newcomers were Polish and French-Canadian rather than French and Scottish.
- Bondsville's duck clothEmelius Bond opened a mill on the Swift River in 1830, and the village of Bondsville grew up around it. His business became the Boston Duck Company, which wove heavy cotton fabric used for raincoats, and by 1900 it employed more than 500 people in Palmer.
- Richardson's Union StationFinished in June 1884, it used granite from W. N. Flynt's Monson quarry with Longmeadow brownstone trim, and Frederick Law Olmsted laid out its grounds. Depot Village, named for the station, became Palmer's business center. Trains quit stopping in 1971, and a restaurant now fills the privately owned building.
- The Town of Seven RailroadsPalmer earned that nickname from the lines built through it. Five of them ran trains, the Hampden was finished but never operated, and the Southern New England was never completed. The Springfield, Athol and North-eastern line closed in the 1930s, while the Quabbin Reservoir was being built.
- A farm foreman at 19Before he settled on music, the blues musician Taj Mahal, raised in Springfield, weighed a life in farming. He went to work on a Palmer dairy farm at 16 and had become its foreman by 19.
