Beginnings

Worcester was incorporated in 1797. The small pockets of habitation which existed in the Worcester area in the years before 1850 gradually grew until the introduction of the railroad through the Schenevus Creek Valley, in 1865, caused a virtual economic boom. The area adjacent to the Worcester depot, formerly an inn and a small group of homes, grew significantly over the next two decades.
