About this item

In 1871, the population of Montague, Massachusetts, was evenly distributed between the three major centers: Montague Center, Millers Falls, and the Turners Falls/Montague City corner. The manufacturing center of Turners Falls grew dramatically in the 1870s, prompted by its ready access to rail lines and its proximity to a navigable section of the Connecticut River with its abundance of waterpower. Millers Falls also grew in size and by comparison, Montague Center remained a rural village.
