This legacy fostered a hardworking spirit, evident in the factories and mills that once defined its economic landscape, and that spirit still informs the city's character, a quiet pride in its manufacturing roots and the diverse peoples who built it. The surrounding terrain, shaped by glacial forces, offers a subtle beauty, with rolling hills and fertile farmland that continue to sustain a connection to the land.
