Orange, Massachusetts is an industrial and population center on the eastern boundary of Franklin County. The town was established in 1810, though settlers had been using the water power of the Millers River for manufacturing since the damming of the river in 1790.

Made up of sections of Athol, Warwick, Roylaston and a tract of land called Ervinshire, the community was named for William, Prince of Orange. Orange was the site of the first automobile factory in the United States. The Historical Society maintains a 1904 Grout auto as an example of the kinds of cars built in Orange as well as a large pewter collection and antique musical instruments.

Industrial products from Orange today include heavy machinery, precision tools, plastics and wood products. The Rodney Hunt Company, which produces water control equipment, is one of the largest employers in Franklin County. Orange Airport Industrial Park provides a site for industrial expansion, while open lands offer camping, maple sugaring and other recreation for residents and vistors alike. In April, the annual River Rat Race brings hundreds of canoes and thousands of visitors to see winners cross the finish line in Orange. For other town tours visit http://www.virtualhomes.com .
