History

[edit]
Boston Manufacturing Company

Waltham was first settled in 1634 as part ofWatertownand was officially incorporated as a separate town in 1738.[4]Waltham is most likely named forWaltham Abbeyin the County ofEssex, England.[5]The first record of the name is from the articles of incorporation, dated January 15, 1738.[5]The name derives from the Anglo-Saxon words, weald or wald "forest" and ham "homestead" or "enclosure." Waltham had no recognizable town center until the 1830s, when the nearbyBoston Manufacturing Companygave the town the land that now serves as itscentral square.[6]

In the early 19th century,Francis Cabot Lowelland his friends and colleagues established in Waltham theBoston Manufacturing Company—the first integrated textile mill in the United States, with the goal of eliminating the problems of co-ordination, quality control, and shipping inherent in the subcontracting based textile industry. The Waltham–Lowell system of production derives its name from the city and the founder of the mill.[7]

The city is home to a number of large estates, includingGore Place, a mansion built in 1806 for formerMassachusettsgovernorChristopher Gore, theRobert Treat Paine Estate, a residence designed by architectHenry Hobson Richardsonand landscape architectFrederick Law Olmstedfor philanthropistRobert Treat Paine, Jr.(1810–1905), and theLyman Estate, a 400-acre (1.6 km2) estate built in 1793 by Boston merchantTheodore Lyman.

In 1857, theWaltham Model 1857watch was produced by theAmerican Watch Companyin the city of Waltham, Massachusetts. In the late 19th and early 20th century, Waltham was home to thebrass eraautomobilemanufacturerMetz, where the first production motorcycle in the U.S. was built.

Another first in Waltham industrial history involves the method to mass-produce themagnetrontube, invented by Percy Spencer atRaytheon. During World War II, the magnetron tube technology was applied to radar. Later, magnetron tubes were used as components in microwave ovens.

Waltham was also the home of theWalter E. Fernald State School, the western hemisphere's oldest publicly funded institution serving people with developmental disabilities.[8][9]The storied and controversial history of the institution has long been covered by local and, at times, national media.[10]

Pronunciation

[edit]
Waltham, 1793
Map of Waltham, 1877

The name of the city is pronounced with the primary stress on the first syllable and a full vowel in the second syllable,/ˈwɔːlθæm/WAWL-tham, though the name of the Waltham watch was pronounced with a reducedschwain the second syllable:/ˈwɔːlθəm/.[46]At one time, most people would have pronounced it in the British way, "Walthum", but when people came to work in the mills from Nova Scotia, the pronunciation evolved. The local version became a phonetic sounding to accommodate French speakers who could not pronounce it in the British way. In some areas, the city is referred to as "The Waltham".

Arts and culture

[edit]

Waltham's combination of population (especially in central and south Waltham) parks, public transit, stores, and trails gives it 62 (out of 100) walkability ranking onwalkscore.com.

Moody Street in downtown Waltham offers its own brand of entertainment with a colorful assortment of shops, restaurants, and bars. Moody Street's booming nightlife, convenience to the commuter rail and lower rents have attracted younger professionals to Waltham in growing numbers in recent years. Moody Street is also referred to as "Restaurant Row" and has become a destination because of the number, variety and quality of its locally owned restaurants.[65][66][67]The city of Waltham has a free "Tick Tock Trolley" on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 6pm–11pm for visitors that provides easy access to local municipal parking lots.[68]

Starting in 2020, the City of Waltham in Massachusetts has shut down a large portion of the main road, Moody St., to vehicular traffic from May 1 until October 31 annually. Moody Street is lined with restaurants and other small businesses but typically has high volumes of automobile passage. In an effort to assist these businesses in a difficult time, the Waltham Traffic Commission closed off a segment of the road to allow businesses to have outdoor dining and storefronts amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Bus stops that would typically be on the blocked off part of Moody St. are temporarily relocated to nearby spots.[69]

Restaurants are supportive of the closure, as they can offer outdoor seating and increase their capacity for business. However, Moody Street has a variety of other businesses like small grocery stores, clothing stores, and jewelers. Some of these non-restaurant business owners oppose repeating the plan in the future, arguing that closing off the road makes their businesses less accessible due to a lack of automobile access. While Waltham has included a variety of stakeholders in the process of the street closure, it is crucial that they continue to do so in order to continue using a democratic process for city-wide decision-making.[70]

For over 25 years, the Waltham Arts Council has sponsored "Concerts On Waltham Common", featuring a different musical act each week of the summer, free of charge to attendees. "Concerts On Waltham Common" was created and organized by Stephen Kilgore until his death in 2004.[71]

The Waltham Philharmonic Orchestra, a civic symphony of the MetroWest area, began in 1985 under the direction of local musicians David J. Tierney and Harold W. McSwain, Jr. With almost 60 professional, semi-professional, and amateur musicians, the orchestra's mission is to provide the Waltham community with the opportunity to perform in and attend classical concerts of the highest quality. WPO musicians come from Waltham as well as from Boston and surrounding communities. The ensemble includes players of a wide range of ages and professions.

Waltham embraces its ethnic diversity in a number of festivals. The annual Latinos en Acción Festival celebrates the many Puerto Rican, Mexican, Peruvian, and Guatemalan residents. It is held by Latinos in Action, a local nonprofit group that helps the Latino population register to vote, understand the laws and find scholarships. The festival includes a parade, music, food, and a beauty pageant.

Waltham has in recent decades become a center for Ugandan culture, with an estimated 1500 Ugandans living in the city, leading some to call Waltham "Little Kampala". The Ugandan North America Association is headquartered in Waltham, along with St. Peters Church of Uganda Boston, as well as Karibu, a well regarded Ugandan eatery. Wilberforce Kateregga, a Ugandan immigrant to Waltham has since established Waltham College Uganda in Seeta Nazigo, Uganda, a boarding school for over 300 orphans and children affected by AIDS. The school was named in honor of Kateregga's new home city.[76]
