More About The Town
Incorporated in 1753, Hinsdale has long long been an unsung hero in trade and technological innovation. The industrial age saw the town thrive with the introduction of wool, and later, paper mills along the Ashuelot River. As the population of the town grew so did industry, with a foundry, machine shops and other supportive businesses. Hinsdale was home to the first automobile, the manufacturer of prized chisels (used to carve Mt Rushmore), Gurian Guitars and wire cables and coatings. Hinsdale is positioned for new economic growth in the 2000's and beyond...
​
- In 2018 the town's Planning Board undertook a major re-zoning on the route 119 corridor in town. The new zoning created two new Roadside Commercial districts. The purpose of this re-zoning effort was to spur economic development and ease the introduction of new business opportunities to our community.
- In addition, the Planning Board is also reviewing the town's zoning ordinances to encourage specific types of residential development.

- Hinsdale is a New Market Tax Credits eligible community. This is another advantage Hinsdale can offer developers that neighboring communities can not. Click here for more information on New Market Tax Credits.
