More info: Fitchburg in Massachusetts is well known for its history as a 19th-century industrial mill city, its grand Victorian architecture, and the Fitchburg Art Museum. Fitchburg's location on the Nashua River resulted in its initial development as an industrial centre where mills were built to take advantage of the readily available water power. The construction of rail lines passing through Fitchburg on the Boston to Albany line increased the city's position as a manufacturing centre. Heavy industries such as machine and tool works, clothing, and paper mills were the engines of significant growth throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries.
First settled in 1730 as a part of Lunenburg and officially incorporated as an independent town in 1764, named after committee member John Fitch. It became a city in 1872.
