~ Shrewsbury ~ The history of Shrewsbury properly begins with certain land grants of the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay, in New England, located within the territory of which the town was afterwards formed in 1792. These grants, called farms, named after the grantees and five in number, were: (1) Davenport’s Farm, 650 acres; (2) Haynes’ Farm, otherwise called Quinsigamond Farm, 3200 acres; (3) Malden Farm, 1000 acres; (4) Rawson’s Farm, 500 acres, and (5) Sewall’s Farm, 1500 acres. Shrewsbury is a usual New England town in that it was neither a mill town nor a farming village. Rather, it grew as a suburb to neighboring Worcester right from the stare with visitors to Lake Quinsigamond.

Townspeople created an agricultural economy with apple orchards, and by 1750, there were two stores and four taverns as well as several small industries in operation.

A leather industry began in 1786 and town farmers developed large cattle herds to support the manufacture of boots and shoes.

The establishment of gunsmithing operations began in 1797, which produced rifles, shotguns and pistols and eventually cutlery.

Luther Goddard began in 1809 by making brass clocks and then established a small watch factory employing a few skilled Swiss and English watchmakers.

The development of streetcar routes in the 19th century spurred the growth of single-family housing in town. The town’s population doubled from 1915 to 1940 as continued streetcar suburb growth brought more modern settlers into the community.
