Uxbridge is a town in Worcester County, Massachusetts, in the United States. It was first settled in 1662, incorporated in 1727, and named for the Earl of Uxbridge. Uxbridge is 16 miles (26 km) south-southeast of Worcester, 20 miles (32 km) north-northwest of Providence, and 34 miles (55 km) southwest of Boston. It is part of the Greater Boston[1] and Worcester metro areas. The 2010 census showed 13,457 people. Uxbridge includes the villages of North Uxbridge, Linwood (in part), Wheelockville, and Ironstone (South Uxbridge).

Uxbridge, a "mini tapestry of early America",[2] marks the center of the Blackstone Valley Heritage Corridor, a key region of America's earliest industrialization. There are more than 375 state or national historic sites. Uxbridge was known for woolens, since Cashmere woolens, and military uniforms were made here for 140 years. The first woolen mill in the Blackstone Valley was built here in 1809. The Bachman Uxbridge Worsted Company's proposed 1954 buyout of the American Woolen Company would have created America's largest woolen conglomerate.[3] The first Air Force Dress Uniform, "Uxbridge Blue", was made here. Uxbridge played roles in women's rights with first woman voter, Lydia Taft,[4] American Revolution soldier, Deborah Sampson, 3) abolitionist Abby Kelley, and Massachusetts's first women jurors. Seth Reed fought at Bunker Hill, and was "instrumental" in adding E Pluribus Unum, ('From Many, One'), to U.S. Coins.[5]

History

Main article: History of Uxbridge, MA

Colonial era, Quakers, Revolution

John Eliot started Praying Indian villages (Wacentug) among the Nipmuc.[6][7][8] Natives sold land to settlers in 1662,[9] "for 24 pound Ster".[9][9][10] Mendon burned in King Phillips War. West Mendon became Uxbridge in 1727, and Farnum House held the first town meeting.[11] The 1728 Town Meeting, funded 15 gallons of 'ye good rum for ye raising of ye meeting house'. Nathan Webb's church, was the first new Congregational church in the Great Awakening.[12] Lydia Taft, voted in the 1756 Town meeting, a first for women.[4] Smithfield, RI Quakers came here and built mills, railroads, houses, tools and Conestoga wagon wheels.[13][14][15] Southwick's store housed the "Social and Instructive Library". Friends Meetinghouse, built of local bricks on Farnum's farm, had abolitionist" Abby Kelley as a member.[16][17][18][19] Seth & Joseph Read and Simeon Wheelock joined Committees of Correspondence.[20] Baxter Hall, was a Revolutionary War drummer.[21] Seth Read fought at Bunker Hill, and the Canadian campaign.

Early transportation, education and public health

The Tafts built the Middle Post Road's Blackstone River bridge.[31] "Teamsters" drove horse "team" freight wagons, on the Worcester-Providence stage route, giving Uxbridge the nickname of "a crossroads village". Construction of the Blackstone Canal brought horsedrawn barges which made Uxbridge their overnight stop.[9][32][33] Completion of the P&W Railroad in 1848 ended canal traffic. A 1788 grammar school was followed by 13 one room schools, built for just $2000. Uxbridge Academy, which began in 1818, became a prestigious New England Prep School. Uxbridge voted against smallpox vaccine in 1775,[4] recorded high infant mortality ,[22] Benedict Arnold's widow's death, and "Quincy", smallpox, "dysentary", and tuberculosis deaths.[13][22] Dr. Leonard White, filed an 1896 malaria public health report that led to a plan for[34] his son to collect mosquitoes for study, and citizens to add window screens and drain standing water, firsts in malaria preventive medicine.[34]

Villages developed with mills, shops, housing, farms, (aka The Rhode Island System), and baseball leagues. Wm.Arnold's 1814 Ironstone cotton mill, made Blue Jeans.[13] Seth Read's gristmill became Bay State Arms. John Capron's 1820 mill made the first American satinets.[6][9][35][37] Hecla and Wheelockville had American Woolen, Waucantuck Mill Complex, and Hilena Lowell's shoe factory. Wheelock&Taft's Calumet (Central Woolen) ran 24/7 making Civil War cloth[13] completing a vertical integration business model.[38] North Uxbridge had Clapp's 1810 Cotton Mill, Sayles Rivulet Mill, Blanchard's granite quarry, and Rogerson's village. Crown and Eagle Mill, was 'a masterpiece of early industrial architecture'. Bachman Uxbridge Worsted 's, 13 plants, topped women's fashions.,[39] and proposed a buyout to be the top US woolen company.[40] It made Civil War, World War I, World War II Army, nurse corps, and the first Air Force 'dress uniforms' "Uxbridge Blue".[13][41]
