We had our Board Retreat December 4 & 5, 2009 which provided a great opportunity to look at where we have been, our strengths and weaknesses, where we need to streamline our organization and procedures as a Board and staff, and where we need to go for the future to the benefit of our membership.

  • NAMES of PLACES in WINCHESTER Past & Present
    NAMES OF PLACES IN WINCHESTER Past & Present ABERJONA RIVER & ABERJONA POND Formerly also spelled Abbajona, “Aberjona” is believed to be a native name. Its meaning is unknown. It is probably related to the term “Aberginians” or Abarginny-men” which colonists William Wood, Capt. Ed- ward Johnson, and John Greene used in relation to the indigenous people. Aberjona Pond was a swampy section of the river to the west of the railroad below Swanton Street which disappeared in 1968 when the river was channeled into three culverts now lying under Ciarcia Field (aka Skillings Field). ADAMS SCHOOL Named for John Quincy Adam, this former schoolhouse was built in 1857 on Swanton Street near Wash- ington Street and was replaced in 1876 by the Chapin School. AIGREMONT The name used by Oren and Rena Sanborn for their house on High Street. See also Sanborn House. AMBROSE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL The current Ambrose School was built on the site of the first Ambrose School which was built during the late 1940s as the Marycliff Academy, a Catholic girls’ school. After purchasing the site in 1969, the Town turned it into a public elementary school and named it for former Town Engineer Howard Ambrose (1909- 1970). Ambrose, a Winchester native, had worked for the town since 1931 as a member of the engineer- ing staff, as assistant town engineer (1950), Planning Board Engineer (1956), and town engineer (1967). Spring 1971 Town Meeting approved the name, and the dedication ceremony was held the next January. ANDREWS HILL Now known as Mount Pisgah, this hill (like Andrews Road) was named for Hiram Andrews, a farmer who owned much of the land in the area in the early 19th century.
