History

Until the middle of the 19th century, present day Winchester comprised parts of Medford, Cambridge, and Woburn. 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. It flourished from 1803–36, until the Lowell Line and Lowell Railroad completed a line which neatly bisected the town and provided it with two stations. With its agricultural roots having mostly disappeared, it is now an affluent "bedroom community". 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.
