    Holyoke Collection, 1794 ‐ Present 1794 – Present Day [bulk: 1870‐1950] 200 boxes (234 linear ft.) Collection number: MS 201 ABSTRACT The Holyoke Collection reflects the diverse history of this immigrant, industrial city. While the collection has only a small amount of personal papers, there is much that documents the city’s rich ethnic communities, their social lives as well as their work lives. The records of numerous clubs and businesses as well as hundreds of photographs tell the story of the city and its people, especially from the 1870s through the 1950s. From the Rand family account book of 1794 to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade Souvenir books of the 1970s, the history of the city of Holyoke and its people is well documented by this collection. Terms of Access and Use: The collection is open for research. HISTORICAL SKETCH Holyoke was founded on 19th century water power technology, and populated by immigrants from its beginnings in 1847. Before Europeans arrived, Native Americans depended on the river. The river served for centuries as a natural and generally peaceful boundary between Algonquin peoples on the east side and Iroquois tribes, such as Mohawks, to the west. The Iroquois nation had expanded to the north from the southern Appalachians, home of the Iroquois‐ related Cherokee Indians. Colonial explorers travelled up the river into this area from Hartford, Connecticut in 1640, soon after English Puritans founded Boston. Elizur Holyoke and Roland Thomas led surveys of Springfieldʹs boundaries, which then extended to Hadley and Northampton on both sides of the river. The first European settlers were fur traders and planters.
