Chicopee: Where Two Rivers Meet in Western Massachusetts
Chicopee sits at the confluence of the Chicopee and Connecticut Rivers, just north of Springfield. The city developed as a manufacturing center in the 1800s, producing cotton goods, firearms, and sporting equipment. The Ames Manufacturing Company in Chicopee made swords and cannons for the Union Army during the Civil War. Spalding, the sporting goods company, was founded here in 1876.
Westover Air Reserve Base, a former Strategic Air Command installation, occupies a large portion of the city's northern section. The base operates as a reserve facility for C-5M Super Galaxy cargo aircraft and is one of the largest employers in the area. Westover Metropolitan Airport, sharing runways with the base, provides civilian air service for the region.
Chicopee Falls and Chicopee Center form the two main commercial districts, separated by about two miles. The city's population has been stable in recent decades, with a mix of Polish, French-Canadian, and Puerto Rican heritage visible in the churches, restaurants, and civic organizations. Elms College, a small Catholic institution, operates a campus on Springfield Street.
The Chicopee River, before joining the Connecticut, passes through several dams and former mill sites within the city. The falls provided waterpower for the early industries and now generate some hydroelectricity. The Chicopee Public Library on Springfield Street and the Chicopee Parks Department manage community resources. The city operates under a mayor-council form of government and maintains its own public school system.
