The Tourist Attractions in Worcester:
Worcester is one of the United States’ older settlements as it was first settled in 1673 by the English. Just a few years later the small original settlement was destroyed, but by 1683 it was settled again. This second settlement was again abandoned in 1702, then settled again in 1713 and officially incorporated as a town in 1722. When the town first started life it was originally called Quinsigamond, named after the lake, but the name was changed to Worcester and named after the town of Worcester in England. Worcester grew as an important town and is credited with being the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution. Buildings from that period still stand in the city today and form part of Worcester’s tourist attractions.
