Westchester is more than a name or place.
It is an identity unique to Colchester. It's stories are rich in character and interest. We are in the process collecting those stories worth more than a paragraph or two. We will be collecting more and more stories about this fascinating place and it's residents; past and present. At one time, Westchester had: One of the first textile Mills in America (1780) (a) 5 local schools - According to the 1859 Annual Report of the Board of School Visitor's there were ; Center School, Northeast District School, Southeast District School, Northwest District School, Southwest District School. 1 train stop 1 post office and unique zip code. It still has it's name and unique telephone exchange of 267-xxxx. Until the end of WWII, Westchester was guaranteed at least one seat on the Board of Selectmen.
