About Easthampton
Easthampton was originally settled as a farming village and grew to be prosperous due to both its location and the industriousness of the local population. Water power played a large part in the development of Easthampton, and by the late 1800's numerous manufacturers were taking advantage of the power that came from the mill ponds and rivers. In the 1970's and 80's, many manufacturers moved to the southern states and overseas, and the once bustling mill buildings stood vacant.
However, Easthampton has once again been discovered and many of the industrial spaces now contain thriving businesses, artists, startups, restaurants, retail and even government agencies! Easthampton is now looking toward the future, with substantial and ongoing investment in the buildings, infrastructure, and environment.
