Description of your community:
Maynard, located on the Assabet River, was incorporated as an independent municipality in 1871. The community was named after Amory Maynard, the man who, with William Knight, had bought water-rights to the Assabet River, installed a dam and built a large carpet mill in 1846-47. The community grew along with the Assabet Woolen Mill and made the highest percentage of wool for U.S. Military uniforms for the Civil War. After the woolen mill finally shut down in 1950, local businessmen bought the property and began leasing it as office or manufacturing space. Digital Equipment Corporation moved into the complex in 1957. The company eventually made Maynard its worldwide headquarters, giving Maynard the nickname "Mini Computer Capital of the World". DEC remained in Maynard until 1990 when it was purchased by Compaq, which was itself later bought out by Hewlett Packard in 2002."The Mill", as locals call it, was renovated in the late 1990s and renamed Clock Tower Place and houses many businesses, including the headquarters of Powell Flutes and Monster.com. The mill complex is also home to the oldest working, hand-wound clock in the country. Currently the population of Maynard is 10,243.
