Leominster: Pioneer City of Plastics
Leominster calls itself the "Pioneer Plastics City" for its role in the early development of the plastics industry. Celluloid comb manufacturing began in the city in the 1860s, and by the early 1900s, Leominster was producing combs, buttons, and other small plastic goods in factories scattered through the downtown and along the Monoosnoc Brook. The National Plastics Center and Museum operated in the city for several years before closing.
The city sits in northern Worcester County along Route 2, the main east-west highway connecting the Boston suburbs to the northern Berkshires. Johnny Appleseed, born John Chapman in Leominster in 1774, is commemorated in local signage and the name of a regional visitors' center along Route 2. The Monoosnoc Brook and the Nashua River run through the city, and the Nashua River Rail Trail provides a paved path connecting to Ayer and other towns.
Leominster shares an economic region with neighboring Fitchburg, and the two cities are often referenced together. Mount Wachusett, the closest significant ski area to Boston, sits about 15 miles to the west in Princeton. The commuter rail terminates in Fitchburg, one stop past Leominster, giving the city a direct rail connection to North Station in Boston.
