The Town of Chesterfield is a rural recreational hill town between
Northampton and Pittsfield. The town was laid out in 1739 and sites were
granted to King Philip's and King William's war veterans in 1740, but
initial settlement of the town did not take place until around 1755. The
town center was established after the Revolution with well preserved
Federal Period houses along Main Road and landmarks of civic buildings in a
later Greek Revival style.
In its early days, the town supported a largely agricultural economy, with
wool from Merino sheep as a major product. However, there were sawmills
and tanneries in operation as well as cloth dressing mills, and in the
early 19th century these superseded farming and brought in a small
immigrant population that was mostly Irish. Progress wiped out most of the
industry in Chesterfield and by the turn of the century a re-emerging
agricultural economy developed alongside the growing trade from summer
residents.
West central Massachusetts, bordered by Worthington on the west, Huntington and
Westhampton on the south and southeast, Williamsburg on the east, Goshen on the
northeast, and Cummington on the north. Chesterfield is 28 miles east of
Pittsfield and 108 miles west of Boston.
