Major-General William Shepard Monument, Broad St, Westfield, MA 01085, US

The United States Whip Company Complex in Westfield, MA, was a historic factory that played a significant role in the whip-making industry, leading Westfield to be known as "Whip City." Established in 1892 through the consolidation of local manufacturers, it became the world's largest whip manufacturer by the early 20th century. Operating from 1855 to 1928, the complex transitioned to producing linen and silk fishing lines under the name U.S. Line Company. Today, the legacy of the original products continues through The Woodstock Line Company, preserving the heritage of the U.S. Line brand.Generated from the website
