From its origin as a part of the City of Westfield to the inclusion of over one-third of its area in the State of Connecticut, the Town of Southwick, Massachusetts, has developed over the years a number of connections to neighboring communities, many of which are examined here. Early settlers in the Southwick area lived a hearty and varied lifestyle, working the land and delighting in \u003cbr\u003ethe enjoyment of its bounty. The harvesting of ice for shipment to many large cities was a source of income for some, and numerous laborers from other countries came to the Southwick area to find work. For a time, Southwick and its environs were regarded as resort communities, providing the destination for many steamboat rides and weekend sojourns. Around Southwick chronicles the development of the area through all its early stages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Southwick Historical Society Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531641911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531641917\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/06\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Southwick Historical Society Inc","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45896816951551,"sku":"9781531641917","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c8444d77-495d-41dc-8181-dd3a5a000cae.jpg?v=1721372398","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/around-southwick-southwick-historical-society-inc-9781531641917","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
