Welcome to 2025 This Day in Norwood History Wrapped, a year-end retrospective dedicated to the stories that define our town.
Throughout the past year, we’ve journeyed day-by-day through the archives, uncovering the milestones, mysteries, and memories that make Norwood unique.
This series brings those daily snapshots together into themed collections—from the bustling storefronts of Washington Street and the hum of our industrial past to the resilience of our neighbors and the preservation of our most cherished landmarks. Whether you are a lifelong resident or a newcomer to the “Jewel of the Commonwealth,” join us as we celebrate the legacy of the people and places that built the community we call home today.
