Prior to European settlers arriving, Holden was thickly settled by Nipmuc natives. Settled near Lake Quinsigamond, the natives thrived by using the land for its fertile and plentiful resources. As Europeans began colonizing the country, they soon moved into present day Worcester. The town grew rapidly and soon the area that makes up present day Holden was settled in 1723, after the residents looked to expand upon the original settlement. In 1741, the town became incorporated and named Holden, after Samuel Holden, who was the director of Bank of England and also a supporter of America.
The original town was mostly an agrarian community with little industry. By the mid nineteenth century, there were a total of seven mills in town, four cotton mills, two wool mills, and one clothing mill. Today, the town of 17,000 still remains rural, while also serving as a bedroom community for neighboring Worcester.

One of our long-standing commercial customers recently decided to consolidate its operations into one lager facility in the town of Holden. During the transition, our security consultant worked closely with the company leadership to design a new security and fire alarm system that would meet the needs of the larger facility, and to manage the transition from several locations to the one new site. The fire alarm was particularly important, given the nature of the company’s business and the threat of fire or explosion. Once the new system was installed, and the company began relocating from other small buildings, we monitored the transition closely, keeping its legacy security and fire systems operative until all the equipment and employees were located in the new facility.
