General Information about Florence
Florence is a village in the northwestern portion of the city of Northampton, near Westhampton and Williamsburg in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. It was founded by neurologist Dr Charles Munde,[1] who also set up a hydropathic establishment there, named Florence Water-Cure.[2][3][4]
In 1832, Samuel Whitmarsh planted 25 acres (100,000 m2) of mulberry trees in Florence in order to raise silkworms. Later, Whitmarsh's silk mill (in nearby Leeds, Massachusetts) was briefly run as a communal project by the Northampton Association of Education and Industry, a utopian community of Abolitionists, who believed that the rights of all should be "equal without distinction of sex, color or condition, sect or religion."
