Leominster, Industrial city in Worcester County, Massachusetts.
Located on the Nashua River, Leominster covers 29.8 square miles of land with hills, parks, and manufacturing districts northwest of Boston.
The settlement, purchased from Nashua Indians in 1701, developed from an agricultural community into a manufacturing center known for comb production.
The city celebrates its connection to Johnny Appleseed through an annual festival featuring local music, food vendors, and community activities.
Residents access public transportation through MBTA commuter rail service and local bus routes connecting to neighboring municipalities.
Manufacturing shifted from horn-based combs to celluloid materials in the early 1900s, establishing Leominster as a center for plastic production.
