WORCESTER: IN THE HEART OF NEW ENGLAND Worcester, with a popula- tion of 161,000, is the second largest city in New England. It has grown into the eighties as a city that gives people the op- portunity to live and work in a quality environment. Attesting to the strengths of its commu- nity character, Worcester is a four-time winner of the All America City Award. Worcester serves as a so- cial, educational and econom- ic hub for the 56 towns and three other cities in Worcester County, which has a popula- tion of 646,000. Rolling coun- tryside, abundant forest land, rivers and lakes surround the city and neighboring residen- tial towns and quaint New Eng- land Villages. Worcester was founded as a permanent settlement in 1713, and incorporated as a town in 1722. By 1848 it was officially chartered as a city. Due to its central location, the Worcester area became the focal point for the region’s ex- panding industrial base in the first half of the nineteenth cen- tury. Invention and innovation aided in local industrial growth and served as a catalyst for national and gloval change. County residents have histor- ically provided the creative spark for many major advancements. When Dr. Robert Goddard launched his fuel-powered rocket from Pakachoag Hill in Auburn in 1 926, the world saw the begin- ning of the space age. The in- vention of the birth control pill at the Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology had a strong impact on the entire world. 15
