City Description

The Town of Easthampton is a city in Hampshire County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 15,994 at the 2000 census. Easthampton was first settled by European immigrants beginning in 1664 and was originally considered part of Northampton.

The company specialized in cloth-covered buttons – a coveted item at the time – and to facilitate the operation of the machinery, a local brook was dammed, creating Nashawannuck Pond. Other mills soon opened nearby, a number of them specializing in elastic and rubber thread manufacturing. Following this spurt of industrial development,
