Leominster is the birthplace of Johnny Appleseed, born John Chapman on Sept. 26, 1774, and the city still throws a downtown festival for him every September. It earned the nickname Pioneer Plastics City from its comb and plastics factories. Today it is also known for more than 40 miles of city trails, including the Monoosnoc Ridge Trail on the granite hills west of downtown.
Leominster split off from Lancaster and was incorporated as a town on June 23, 1740, then became a city in 1915. By 1853 the town had 24 comb factories along the Monoosnoc Brook and Nashua River, and celluloid and later injection molding made it a plastics center, home to Foster Grant and the Viscoloid Company. The plastic pink lawn flamingo was designed here in 1956 by Don Featherstone for Union Products. A working city of about 44,000 people with a walkable downtown around Monument Square, older triple-decker blocks, and quieter streets that run up to wooded hills and orchards. Commuters use Route 2, I-190 and the North Leominster commuter rail stop to reach Boston and Worcester.
