Named in the 1908 county history
The history of Middlesex County was published 24 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.
Charles River, called by the Indians Quinobequin, encircled a large part of Newton, its channel forming the boundary line on the north, west, and south sides of the town, being a continuous curving line more than fifteen miles in length. The falls on the river invited the spirit of enterprise at a very early period. The first mills were erected at the Upper Falls. At this part of its course the waters of the river fall perpendicularly twenty feet, and then descend thirty-five feet in the course of half a mile.
Named in the same survey
1 establishmentThe surveyors walked Middlesex County once and wrote down what they found. These are the other establishments from the same atlas, each with the line it was read from.

Provenance
Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Middlesex County, Massachusetts, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
