History

Early history

North Adams was first settled in 1745 during King George's War. During the war, Canadians and Indians laid siege to Fort Massachusetts (located near the present-day Price Chopper Supermarket). 30 prisoners were taken to Quebec; half died in captivity.

The town was incorporated separately from Adams in 1878. The city is named in honor of Samuel Adams, a leader in the American Revolution, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and governor of Massachusetts.

For much of its history, North Adams was a mill town. Manufacturing began in the city before the Revolutionary War, largely because the confluence of the Hoosic River's two branches provided water power for small-scale industry. By the late 1700s and early 1800s, businesses included wholesale shoe manufacturers; a brick yard; a saw mill; cabinet-makers; hat manufacturers; machine shops for the construction of mill machines; marble works; wagon and sleigh-makers; and an ironworks, which provided the pig iron for armor plates on the Civil War ship, the Monitor. North Adams was also the headquarters for building the Hoosac Tunnel.
