Leicester began as a small Colonial settlement in the early 1700s
and quickly blossomed into a flourishing farming community. Located
among the headwaters of the Blackstone River, the numerous villages
of Leicester prospered during the Industrial Revolution with
gristmills, sawmills, and textile mills. By the 1880s, one-third of
all hand and machine cards made in North America were produced in
Leicester. After the deindustrialization of the twentieth century,
the town began to return to its agricultural roots; today, for the
most part, it appears largely rural once again. Leicester pays
tribute to the industrial, yet rural, and independent, yet
cooperative, spirit of this suburb of Worcester.
