Welcome to West Brookfield, Massachusetts. With a population of about 3,400 residents, West Brookfield is a quaint New England town nestled among the Quaboag hills about half-way between Springfield and Worcester. As you enter the Center Historic District of our town, you will come upon the picturesque Town Common, lined with stately colonial homes. Recently restored to its original glory, the focal point of the Common is the Rice Memorial Fountain. The Common is also the site of our War Memorial Plaza and the Helen Paige Shackley Bandstand. The Common is host to many exciting annual events, including The Asparagus & Flower Heritage Festival, the lighting of the town Christmas tree during "White Christmas in West Brookfield," and the "Concerts on the Common" summer music series. From June to October, the Farmers' Market bustles with activity every Wednesday from 3 until 6:30 PM. The town center is dotted with many unique craft and antique shops where you can browse for the perfect gift or collectible. There are several restaurants throughout the town, offering everything from a quick cup of coffee to fast food or fine dining. There are also inns and a motel, should you decide to stay awhile. As you head west on Route 9, "at the lights" you will find our Town Hall and the Merriam Gilbert Public Library. If you were to take a right turn between these two imposing buildings, you would be heading toward our town beach on lovely Lake Wickaboag. The lake is a wonderful water recreation and fishing area. It is the site of Fourth of July boat parade and house decorating contest, and winter ice fishing derbies. Just before leaving the town, as you continue westward you will see "The Rockhouse Reservation," a property of the Trustees of Reservations. The reservation has hiking and nature trails, a lovely little lake, and a butterfly meadow. Part of the original settlement known as "The Quaboag Plantation," West Brookfield was the home of Jedediah Foster, one of the forgers of the Massachusetts Constitution, the model for our US Constitution. Lucy Stone, champion of women's rights, also called West Brookfield "home." So, turn off the cell phone (we do have excellent coverage, by the way), turn back the clock (figuratively), and turn to West Brookfield - "A Town for all Seasons."
Founded in 1666 by Captain Robert Treat and his Connecticut Puritans, the City of Newark is America`s third-oldest City, and New Jersey`s largest municipality. During and after the American Revolution, it became a major center for leather production and then heavy industry. It was formally incorporated as a City in 1836, and continued to be an industrial, banking, and insurance center for the next 100 years. In the past 40 years, Newark has undergone a dynamic transformation, with its economy centered on high technology, industry, and communications, based on its role as a transportation hub -- home to railroads, superhighways, the Newark Seaport, and Newark Liberty International Airport. Cultural centers like the Newark Museum and the New Jersey Performing Arts Center offer visitors and residents world-class exhibitions and entertainment. The Prudential Center in the City`s downtown is home to the New Jersey Devils NHL hockey team and hosts performers like Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and the Ringling Brothers Circus. Its restaurants and eateries reflect the city`s diversity and hospitality. Notable Newark natives include basketball legend Shaquille O`Neal, writer Philip Roth, singer Paul Simon, jazz musician Sarah Vaughan, poet and playwright Amiri Baraka, Sr., actress Queen Latifah, actor Michael B. Jordan, Supreme Court Justice William Brennan, and U.S. Congressman Peter Rodino. Today, Newark is transforming itself at the will of its united people. This transformation is the City`s highest priority with groundbreaking initiatives in public safety, economic development, housing, and community engagement, while achieving fiscal stability. Together, these initiatives are transforming Newark into a City we can all believe in, and a model for the entire nation on just what a City should be for all of its residents, stakeholders, and visitors.
