The Town of Erving is a highland industrial town on the primary corridor
between Boston and Greenfield. The land that constitutes the town was
purchased by John Erving in 1752 and was consequently named after him. The
community has been the home of the Erving Paper mills since 1905 and the
factory continues to be one of the major employers in Franklin County.
Erving Paper has been a leader in the recycling of waste paper and is the
world's largest producer of printed paper napkins. The company is the
fifth largest employer in Franklin County.
Despite its manufacturing history, sections of the town retain a rural
character and Erving is also host to Laurel Lake and Erving State Forest.
These sites boast beach, boathouses, picnic areas and tenting sites for
residents and visitors to the area. The French King Bridge, with a span of
750 feet hanging 140 feet above the banks of the Connecticut River,
connects Erving with the Town of Gill. Residents are very proud of the
bridge and of the spectacular view of the river from its heights. In
addition, there is an historically significant bridge over the Millers
River built in 1889 by the New York firm of Dean and Westbrook which
displays the only known use of certain Victorian wrought iron building
techniques.
North central Massachusetts, bordered by Northfield on the north, Warwick and
Orange on the east, Wendell and Montague on the south and west, and Gill on the
northwest. The distance to Greenfield is about 8 miles from the intersection of
Routes 2 and 63. Erving is 38 miles north of Springfield, 81 miles northwest of
Boston, and 170 miles from New York City.
