Named in the 1884 county history

The history of Hampden County was published 12 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Interest in education has always been keen and the annual expenditure for schools exceeds $125,000. There are twenty school buildings in town in addition to the Boys' Trade School where metal working courses are taught, and the State Normal School, a training school conducted by the commonwealth for training teachers. Recently when it seemed that the school buildings were being crowded the town erected within a period of three years three large and one small building, at an expense of about $275,000. Schools have not been neglected despite financial stress, and the standard of Westfield schools is second to none.

Provenance

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