http://www.hubbardstonmarealestate.com Tour Hubbardston, MA neighborhoods, condominium developments, subdivisions, schools, landmarks, recreational areas, and town offices.

Hubbardston, Massachusetts is located in the hill country of central Worcester County. The first European settlers arrived in 1737, and the town's early economy was based on agriculture and small scale chair, boot and shoe manufacturing. Early Hubbardston is described by historians as a poor town, sparsely settled and almost wholly agricultural, but having sawmills, potash works and cottage industries such as the making of palm leaf hats.

By the 19th century, dairy and berry farming and market gardening were major pursuits in Hubbardston, and immigrants from Ireland, French Canada, England, Sweden and Russian Finland had moved into town to work with earlier settlers. Contemporary Hubbardston mantains strong ties with its rural past; as late as 1940, the town's population was described as 55.9 percent rural, the second highest in the country.
