Home of the footbridge, Medford was founded in 1630, making it the fourth oldest English settlement in North America. Medford was established as a city in 1892 and was a center of industry, manufacturing brick and tile, rum, and Medford Crackers, and building clipper ships. In 1868, a French astronomer and naturalist, Leopold Trouvelot, was attempting to breed a better silkworm using Gypsy moths. Several of the moths escaped from his home at 27 Myrtle Street (which no longer exists). Within ten years, the insect pest had denuded the vegetation in the neighborhood. Eventually, it spread all over North America. In a pub on Salem Street in Medford, local resident James Pierpont wrote "Jingle Bells" in the late 19th century after watching a sleigh race from Medford to Malden. Another local resident, Lydia Maria Child (1802-1880) made a poem out of the trip across town to her grandparents' house, now the classic song, Over the River and Through the Woods. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
