Worcester's Own

Did you know that Worcester is not only the birthplace of barbed wire and the monkey wrench, but of smiley face and the space suit?

Worcester is located in Central Massachusetts, and is known as the "heart of the Commonwealth." Worcester was established as a town on June 14, 1722, chosen the shire town or county seat of Worcester County in 1731, and incorporated as a city on February 29, 1848.
