Simonds International rings in 175 years
Brad Perriello
When Simonds International was founded, Andrew Jackson was president and only 24 states had united to form America.
It was 1832 when Abel Simonds and his brother-in-law, John Thurston Farwell, opened a small scythe-making shop alongside the Nashua River in West Fitchburg, Mass.
One-hundred seventy-five years later, Simonds International celebrated the anniversary with two days of festivities at its worldwide headquarters in Fitchburg, where the first building was erected in 1868.
