About
Winchester MA
The land on which
Winchester now sits was purchased from Native
Americans by representatives of the settlement of
Charlestown in 1639, and the area was first settled
in 1640. In the early years of the settlement, the
area was known informally as Waterfield, a reference
to its many ponds and to the river which bisected
the central village. In its second century, the area
was referred to as Black Horse Village, after the
busy tavern and hostelry in its center.
Until the middle of the 19th century, Winchester
comprised parts of Arlington, Medford, Cambridge,
and Woburn. The movement toward incorporation of
what, by this time, was called South Woburn was
likely precipitated by the rise of the Whig Party in
Massachusetts.* The Whigs sought to split a new
jurisdiction away from heavily Democratic Woburn and
found enough supporters in the burgeoning village to
organize a movement toward incorporation.
Representatives of the planned new town selected the
name Winchester in recognition of Colonel William P.
Winchester of nearby Watertown, who pledged $3,000
toward the construction of the first town hall. Upon
the signature of then Governor Briggs, the town of
Winchester was officially incorporated on April 30,
1850. Unfortunately, Colonel Winchester did not live
to visit the town that had honored his family name.
He succumbed to typhoid fever within months of its
incorporation.
The town's early growth paralleled improvements in
transportation. Prior to incorporation, the
Middlesex Canal, linking the Merrimack River to
Boston, was completed through then Waterfield. It
flourished from 1803–36, until the Boston and Lowell
Railroad completed a line which neatly bisected the
town and provided it with two stations. Able to
deliver passengers as well as goods, the railroad
soon bankrupted the canal and spurred more people to
move to the area. The first church was built in
1840, the Post Office followed in 1841, and soon
after incorporation town schools were started.
Industries small and large followed, including the
Beggs and Cobb tannery and the Winn Watch Hand
factory which would operate well into the 20th
century.
By the time of the Civil War, to which Winchester
lent many citizens, the need for a municipal water
supply became apparent. Engineers convinced a
skeptical public to fund a dam in the highlands to
the east of town. The structure blocked the creek
which flowed from the Middlesex Fells and produced
the first of three reservoirs which continue to
provide clear water today.
In the early 20th century, growth continued apace as
Winchester evolved from its agri-industrial roots
into the bedroom community it is today. A rich mix
of immigrants — first the Irish in the northern and
eastern neighborhoods, then a smattering of
African-Americans who flocked to the New Hope
Baptist Church in the highlands, and finally
Italians who came to work in the westside farms and
live in the "Plains" to the east — complemented
Winchester's Yankee forbears. The constant in these
times of change and up to the present day has been
the public spirited efforts of all to continue to
maintain the innate physical charm of the town.
Just as its town government of Selectmen and Town
Meeting members has remained essentially unchanged
for most of its existence, so has Winchester's
flavor little departed from the place that a 1970s
survey listed as "one of the top fifteen suburbs" in
the nation. Since completion of the present
Winchester High School in 1972, and with population
growth leveling off, town leaders have had more time
and funds to devote to maintaining rather than
molding Winchester's character.
Across the Main Street bypass from the high school
sits the Jenks Seniors Center. Town-developed
housing for seniors continues to flourish across
from Wedge Pond, home to Borggaard Beach, a popular
swimming spot when toxic levels of blue-green algae
aren't present. This has been a problem in 2006 and
2008. The Kiwanis Club hosts its annual fishing
derby on the pond, while the Rotary Club runs its
busy auction nearby. Adjacent to the beach are the
Packer Tennis Courts, comprising fifteen clay
courts, unusual for a public facility. The Winton
Club, founded in 1911, raises funds in support of
the Winchester Hospital. Originally popular for
canoeing, the Winchester Boat Club now serves as a
home base for locals wishing to enjoy the Mystic
Lakes with a casual sailing outing or a competitive
regatta, and in the summer it is a popular meeting
place for local families and their children.
Likewise, the Winchester Swim and Tennis Club
provides a large swimming pool, several five hard
tennis courts, and bocce courts to local residents.
The Winchester Country Club offers an 18-hole course
in the Myopia Hill neighborhood, which was named
after the Myopia Club based there in the late 19th
century. The EnKa Society, a revived high school
society, continues to raise money for community
groups and activities through its annual street fair
and carnival. And every year, as for over a century,
thousands of fans attend the annual Thanksgiving Day
football contest between Winchester High School and
its long-time traditional rival, Woburn.
A new Black Horse Tavern opened on August 9, 2010 in
Winchester Center on the former site of the Black
Horse Bootery, which was demolished in 1892.
According to the Massachusetts Historical Society,
the town’s original Black Horse Tavern was built in
1742 and served as an important meeting place during
the American Revolution.
