Westfield, Pioneer Valley city in Massachusetts, United States
Westfield extends across 47 square miles of terrain divided by the Westfield River into North Side and South Side sections at 45 meters elevation.
The settlement, established in 1660 as the westernmost Massachusetts Colony outpost, transformed from an agricultural community into an industrial center during the 1800s.
Westfield State University provides education through 50 undergraduate majors and 30 graduate programs, maintaining a 256-acre campus in the Pioneer Valley region.
The city maintains essential infrastructure through regular hydrant maintenance, lead service line monitoring, and public works projects coordinated by municipal departments.
During the nineteenth century, Westfield gained recognition as a manufacturing center for buggy whips, earning the designation of Whip City.
