Named in the 1884 county history

The history of Hampden County was published 1 year before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The first church built in Holyoke was located on Northampton street and the first minister, Rev. Mr. Rand, a Baptist clergyman, preached for several years. Every fourth Sunday the Congregationalists had service. The church was partly built in 1792 and finished by the First Congregational Society in 1799. The first Baptist church was organized in 1803 and Mr. Rand assumed the pastoral office. In 1849 the second Congregational church was organized, and in 1883 the present edifice at the corner of Maple and Appleton streets was built.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Chicopee, 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.
