History

Relatively unproductive soils and small fields were not conducive to growing cash crops, so farming was more of a subsistence nature. Like most native peoples, they were decimated by smallpox, then their participation in King Philip's War 1675-76 proved their undoing as victory by colonial forces led to dispersal of remnants of this tribe west into New York and north into Canada. The Industrial Revolution led to development in the Westfield River valley as the water power potential of the three cascades was developed for industrial use. Russell is a New England town in Hampden County, Massachusetts County, Massachusetts, United States. The lower industrial village was named Woronoco after a local tribe, and the local cascades were once called Salmon Falls, presumably because Atlantic Salmon were observed and captured there.
