Medford’s Growth From Shipyards To Modern Town
The Medford story traces two growth eras from 1631 shipbuilding to post Civil War manufacturing. It highlights the Blessing of the Bay, peak ship output, then carpet works, bricks, and iron in West Medford, plus new streets, bridges, a public library, schools, and expanded transit. The Brooks and Craddock estates are noted, with a slave wall preserved as a stark reminder of Massachusetts’ past.
