Longmeadow, Massachusetts has a population of more than 15,000, which continues to grow each year as people are attracted to this fast developing town. Longmeadow is located close to the Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT.

The town was settled by Springfield residents in the late 1640's; early inhabitants subsisted on a primarily agriculural economy. Until the early 18th century, townspeople turned to Springfield for industrial, religious and educational needs, since a lack of fertile land and water power sources inhibited Longmeadow's commercial growth.

In 1716, however, the first meetinghouse in town was built near the junction of Longmeadow and Williams Streets. Some industrial development took place during the mid-19th century, when the manufacture of gold and silver thimbles, spectacles, cloth-covered buttons and bricks provided non-agricultural jobs for Longmeadow residents.

Potential for further growth was limited, however, and by the early 20th century Longmeadow settled into its current position as the most desirable of all Springfield's residential suburbs. Proximity to two of New England's major cities combined with a rustic small-town atmosphere have long made Longmeadow an attractive destination for relocating families.

The Longmeadow school system includes three elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school. It also has many private academies and schools for students.

Massachusetts: The Past, Present & Future of Our Country

"Why Massachusetts?"

Why not? Located in the heart of New England, Massachusetts is the region's most popular state. Rich with the history of our country and still on the cutting edge of technology, Massachusetts offers a perfect blend of the past, present and future.

From the stunning seacoast, Cape Cod, the islands and Boston to the peaceful beauty of the Berkshires and the Blue Hills, Massachusetts offers something to everyone! Every year, new residents are drawn to Massachusetts for the diversity of culture and activities available in Boston, the picturesque seaside communities, and the quaint rural towns for which New England is known.

With New Hampshire and Vermont on the northern border, New York to the west, and Connecticut and Rhode Island bordering on the south, Massachusetts is the most centrally located of the New England States. Cape Cod juts out into the Atlantic Ocean on the east like a bent arm, creating an easily recognizable state shape. A day trip to one of Massachusetts' beautiful beaches or islands is easily accessible from any part of the state, as is a trip to the Berkshires in the western part of the state.

For all of these reasons and more, it's easy to see why people are so proud to say they live in Massachusetts!
