About Southbridge, Massachusetts
Southbridge, Worcester, Massachusetts, USA
The area was initially inhabited by the Nipmuck and Mohegan tribes, with the Quinebaug River dividing their territories. As early as 1638, John Winthrop, Jr. purchased a tract for mining lead at what is now Leadmine Road in Sturbridge (it was thought at the time that where there was lead, there should be silver nearby).

Southbridge was first settled by Europeans in 1730 and incorporated in 1816; among the first settlers was Moses Marcy, who owned a home on the site of what is now Notre Dame church and was elected to Congress, and the Dennison family. Water power from the Quinebaug River made Southbridge a good location for sawmills and gristmills in the 18th century, and textile mills in the 19th century. After the Civil War, many immigrants of Irish and French Canadian descent came to work and live there; by the 1930s they had been joined by Poles, Greeks, Italians and others.

Lafayette Make Homestead His Inn.

SOUTHBRIDGE, Feb. 11. - On the site of the house occupied by William A. Marcy, at the brow of Main-street hill, there will some day be erected a magnificent cathedral.

The old Marcy house, which was built a half century before the revolutionary war, will be torn down when William Marcy dies, and the oldest frame house in Southbridge will be brushed away to be replaced by a costly church of marble for the Notre Dame French Catholic parish.

Four year the French residents of Southbridge have waited to erect their new house of worship, and William Marcy, hale and hearty at nearly 70 years of age, has no idea of relinquishing his hold on his native home.

Mr. Marcy hope the French parish will wait a good many years for its new church, and it pains the old gentleman to think that after his death the historic homestead will be the site of a Catholic church....Read MORE...
