The Town of East Longmeadow is a suburban industrial town in the
Connecticut Valley. It is a hilly town with rich sandstone deposits.
First settled in 1744 by colonists realizing the fertility of the valley's
alluvial soil, East Longmeadow early became an industrialized community
with the development of sandstone quarries. There was an early
agricultural population, but the basis of the economy until the 1920's was
the quarries. During the height of production there were 50 or more
quarries in operation, supplying a red sandstone said to be far superior to
that found anywhere else in the country. East Longmeadow sandstone was
used in the buildings of famous architect H.H. Richardson including Trinity
Church in Boston. The various quarries produced sandstone of colors
varying from brown to blood red. Although there are no operating quarries
now, in the 1960's, several of them were reopened to provide stone for the
construction of the Bobst Library building at New York University under
architect Philip Johnson.
Streetcar suburban development from Springfield followed the gradual
closure of the quarries, and poultry raising and market gardening were part
of the local economy as was the wartime Pratt and Whitney factory which
employed 4,300 men and women to build aircraft engine parts. There are
presently residential, business and industrial zones in East Bridgewater
and development continues in previously rural areas.
Southwestern Massachusetts, bordered by Enfield and Somers, Connecticut, on the
south; Hampden on the east; Wilbraham on the northeast; Springfield on the north
and northwest; and Longmeadow on the west. East Longmeadow is 5 miles south of
Springfield, 88 miles southwest of Boston, and 146 miles from New York
City.
