The City of Gardner is an urban/industrial center. The city was settled
late and showed a dispersed, small scale woodworking industry in the
1800's. By the early 19th century, however, this had become concentrated
in a large number of chair manufacturing shops. Between 1830 and 1870 the
expansion had brought in immigrants mostly from England, Ireland and
Canada. Russian Finns, Swedes and Poles joined them in the 1890's as the
chairmaking industry expanded. The Heywood-Wakefield chair factory complex
was created and expanded between 1870 and 1897 and remained for the whole
of the 19th century a major factor in the city's economy.
Mt. Gardner Seminary, a college for women, was formed in 1884 and the free
public library was created in 1886, but the Gardner Light Infantry, a
voluntary military troop, was formed as early as 1813. In 1896, the evening
naturalization classes established in the city to help immigrants become
citizens were commended by the state. The Gardner State Colony for the
Insane, built in 1904, was a pioneer in the then innovative dispersal of
patients in cottage residences rather than one huge building, a model that
has since been copied around the country.
North Central Massachusetts, bordered by Winchendon and Ashburnham on the north,
Templeton on the west, Westminster on the east, and Hubbardston on the south.
Gardner is 28 miles northwest of Worcester, 59 miles northwest of Boston, 61
miles northeast of Springfield, and 195 miles from New York City.
