The
Town's history is uniquely connected with the establishment of the Ames Shovel company in 1803 and is known as having provided
the shovels which laid the Union Pacific Railroad and opened the west. In 1875,
the shovel production of the Ames plant was worth 1.5 million.
Its
history continued through the Ames family for many generations, including the most notable
of the family: Oakes Ames and Oliver Ames (governor of Massachusetts from 1887-1890). The Ames family shaped the town's economy and are responsible for a number of landmark buildings in the town
designed by H. H. Richardson, originator of Richardsonian
Romanesque style and designer of Trinity Church in Boston. Richardson’s designs include Oakes Ames Memorial Hall, the Ames Free Library and the Old Colony Railroad Station. The community continues to preserve these
buildings today as part of the heritage of Easton.
