Description: Westford, Massachusetts, Images of America, Paperback This book about Westford describes the effect of the millsâ??' demise in the 1950s, and chronicles the townâ??s recent development into a very appealing bedroom community for workers in Boston.From its incorporation in 1729 through the late nineteenth century, Westford, Massachusetts, was a farming community sparsely populated by families of English ancestry. But in the first years of the twentieth century, a significant change occurred in Westford when mills that had opened in the townâ??'s Forge Village and Graniteville sections began to recruit workers from Russia, Poland, England, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, and Canada. Westford depicts what the arrival of the mills and the mill workers meant to the town and its evolution in the twentieth century.
