TOWN OF BERLIN
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS

OUR TOWN

BERLIN lies in a low range of hills between the Nashua and the Assabet River Valleys.
Incorporated in 1812, the town was a residential and agricultural community, growing mixed
hay grains and raising cattle. For a period after the Civil War, Berlin was home to a large shoe
factory, and shoe manufacturing and lumbering provided non-agrarian jobs. The town soon
moved into specialty market gardening, sending 41,000 bunches of asparagus to market in
1885, growing hops and raising chickens. By 1940, 83,600 dozen eggs were produced annually
by the poultry farmers of Berlin. Today Berlin is a pleasing mix of past and present.
It continues to embrace its tradition as it cautiously sets in motion plans for its future.
