History

From the post-war years to the mid-1980s, Sprague produced electrical components for the booming consumer electronics market, but competition from abroad led to declining sales and, in 1985, the company closed operations on Marshall Street. It also became the largest employer in North Adams, with some 3,200 workers by 1905. The city is named in honor of Samuel Adams, a leader in the American Revolution, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and governor of Massachusetts. By the late 1700s and early 1800s, businesses included wholesale shoemaking manufacturers; a brickmaking yard; a saw mill; cabinet making hat manufacturers; machine shops for the construction of mill machines; marble works; wagon and sleigh-makers; and an ironworks, which provided the pig iron for armor plating plates on the American Civil War War ship, the USS Monitor North Adams would be headquarters for construction of the Hoosac Tunnel. Sprague physicists, chemists, electrical engineers, and skilled technicians were called upon by the US government during World War II to design and manufacture crucial components of some of its most advanced high-tech weapons systems, including the atomic bomb.
