First settled in 1673, Worcester Massachusetts is the home of barbed wire, the first valentine, the curve ball, the first perfect game in baseball (1880), the first women's rights convention, the monkey wrench, pink flamingo lawn ornaments, shredded wheat, the spring bed, and the man who invented windchill.  Famous people include: Bob Cousy, Casey Stengel, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Nick Gage, Rich Gedman, Abbie Hoffman, Elizabeth Bishop and Stanley Kunitz.    From Favorite Places of Worcester County.
