Waltham, Massachusetts, known as the “Watch City” due to its deep ties to the American watch industry, has a rich history dating back to its founding in the 17th century. Originally settled as part of Watertown in 1634, Waltham became an industrial hub by the 19th century, setting the stage for innovation and enterprise. The Waltham Watch Company, established in the mid-1800s, led Waltham to be the center of the American watch-making industry, pioneering mass production techniques. Today, Waltham remains a vibrant community that balances historical significance with a modern, diverse community.
