Blandford is situated in the eastern foothills of the Green Mountains and
is criss-crossed by streams. It is a rural hill town on the historic
western corridor between Connecticut and the Housatonic Valley and is on an
early route of travel from Springfield to Albany. This was an important
military highway from New York during the revolution as is testified by the
number of taverns that were recorded on the post road servicing travellers.
The town was originally cut up into lots and sold to Scotch-Irish
Presbyterians who immigrated from Hopkinton and created an agricultural and
grazing based economy. There were some early tanneries, paper and card
board mills, but the major emphasis in the 19th century was dairy farming.
Blandford led the county in cheese production in 1845 and then again 1870
and despite becoming a favored summer resort for Springfield and Westfield
families, has remained in modern times a community of dairy farms and
orchards.
The town has retained a cluster of notable buildings in the center,
including a handsome Greek revival church, and residents are proud of the
historic character of the center. Development pressures in modern times
come from those creating recreational or suburban homes.
Southwestern Massachusetts, bordered by Chester on the north, Huntington on the
northeast, Russell on the east, Granville and Tolland on the south, and Otis and
Becket on the west. Blandford is 21 miles west of Springfield, 32 miles
southeast of Pittsfield, 110 miles southwest of Boston, and 163 miles from New
York City.
