About Reading
MA
Reading's original
settlers came from England in the 1630's to the
Massachusetts Bay Colony. Many arrived through the
ports of Lynn and Salem. In 1639 some citizens of
Lynn petitioned the government of the Massachusetts
Bay Colony for "place for an inland plantation." The
General Court granted them six square miles, then an
additional four. The first settlement called Lynn
Village was on the south shore of the Great Pond,
what is now known as Lake Quannapowitt. On June
10th, 1644 the settlement was incorporated by the
House of Deputies as the Town of Reading, taking its
name from Reading, England. The first church was
organized soon after the settlement, and the first
parish, later known as South Reading, became
Wakefield in 1868. A special grant in 1651 added
land north of the Ipswich River to the Town of
Reading. This area in 1853 became the separate Town
of North Reading. During its early years, the area
which is currently the Town of Reading, was known as
Wood End, or Third Parish.
In 1693, Town Meeting voted to fund public education
in Reading. The funding consisted of "four pounds
for three months school in the Town, two pounds for
the west end of the Town, and one pound for those
north of the Ipswich River." Within the present Town
of Reading, the Parker Tavern is the Town's oldest
remaining seventeenth century structure, built in
1694. This property is currently owned and operated
by the Reading Antiquarian Society, which is a
non-profit corporation. In 1769, the meetinghouse,
in what is now Reading was built. It was constructed
in the area which is currently the Common in
Reading. A stone marker commemorates the site.
Reading played an active role in the American
Revolutionary War. Minute Men were prominently
involved in the engagements pursuing the retreating
British Red Coats after the skirmish at Concord
Bridge. Dr. John Brooks, Captain of the "Fourth
Company of Minute" remained in the army for eight
years of distinguished service, including White
Plains and Valley Forge. He later became the ninth
governor of Massachusetts. Only one Reading soldier
was killed in action during the Revolution. Joshua
Eaton died in the battle of Saratoga in 1777.
In 1791, sixty members of the "West Parish" which is
the current Town of Reading, started the Federal
Library. This was a subscription Library with each
member paying S1.00 to join, and annual dues of
S.25. The Town's public library was created in 1868.
The Andover-Medford Turnpike, a private corporation,
currently Main Street or Route 28, was built in
1806-7. This provided the citizens of Reading with a
better means of travel to the Boston area. In 1845,
the Boston & Maine Railroad came to Reading and
improved the access to Boston, and the southern
markets. During the first half of the nineteen
century, Reading became a manufacturing town.
Sylvester Harnden's furniture factory, Daniel
Pratt's clock factory, and Samuel Pierce's organ
pipe factory were major businesses. By the mid
1800's, Reading had thirteen establishments that
manufactured chairs and cabinets. The making of
shoes began as a cottage industry and expanded to
large factories. Neckties were manufactured here for
about ninety years. During and after Civil War the
southern markets for Reading's products declined and
several of its factories closed.
Reading members of the Richardson Light Guard of
South Reading fought at the first battle of Bull
Run. The second company was formed as part of the
Grand Army of the Potomac, and a third company
joined General Bank's expedition in Louisiana. A
total of 411 men from Reading fought in the Civil
War, of whom 15 died in action and 33 died of wounds
and sickness. A memorial exists in the Laurel Hill
Cemetery commemorating those who died in the Civil
War.
Following the Civil War, Reading became a
residential community with excellent commuting
service to Boston. Industrial expansion during that
time included the precursor of General Tire & Rubber
Company off Ash Street. Additional businesses
created after World War I included the Boston Stove
Foundry, Ace Art, and several other companies. The
business community currently consists of a number of
retail and service businesses in the downtown area,
as well as the Analytical Sciences Corporation (TASC).
The governmental structure of the Town of Reading
has evolved since its creation in 1644. Initially,
the government consisted of a Town Meeting and a
Board of Selectmen. During the early years of the
Town, this governmental structure was adequate for
the needs of the community. As the Town grew and the
needs of its population evolved, the Town of Reading
adopted the representative Town Meeting. This form
of government replaced the open Town Meeting in
1944. More recently, the residents of Reading
adopted the Reading Home Rule Charter in March of
1986. This form of government focused the policy and
decision making function in a very few elected
boards and committees, and provided for the creation
of the Town Manager position to be responsible for
day to day operations of the local government. In
1994, Reading celebrated its 350th Anniversary of
incorporation as a Town.
