Historical United States Census totals for Worcester County, Massachusetts
The Census Bureau made a number of revisions to 1970 census totals subsequent to their initial release. Worcester County went through two rounds of revisions. The 1970 total for Worcester County was originally reported as 637,969; and for the town of Harvard, 13,426. Later, the county total was revised to 637,079, with Harvard’s total changing to 12,951. The totals for the county and for Harvard were later revised again to those shown in the list above. At least part of the issue appears to have been an assignment error between Harvard and the neighboring town of Ayer, in Middlesex County (the two towns shared in part the then-active Fort Devens military base); Ayer also went through two rounds of revisions, and in both the original and final totals, the collective population of Harvard and Ayer is the same.

WorcesterScene
In 2007, Vaillancourt was searching online for information about new restaurants to visit in Worcester. As he searched online he realized the same restaurants kept coming up in searches and that the smaller, lesser-known restaurants did not. Worcester is New England's second largest city and contained dozens of restaurants so he quickly realized the need to create a single, on-line resource that listed all of the city's restaurants and their contact information. In 2008, WorcesterScene was born as Vaillancourt created, coded, designed and deployed a website to list restaurant information, contact details, and property history for those looking to "try some place new". In early 2009, WorcesterScene expanded its listings to include bars, entertainment venues, arts, health and beauty and shopping listings. By mid-2009, WorcesterScene had accounted for and had published, the most comprehensive and complete listing of all restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, art galleries, museums, health and beauty and shopping in the city of Worcester. At the end of 2009, the health and beauty and shopping listings were removed from the site so as to keep the site's focus strictly on "where entertainment things were happening" in the city.

History of Worcester

At this time nearly half of the glove manufacturers of Britain were located in Worcestershire. In the 19th century the industry declined because import taxes on foreign competitors, mainly from France, were greatly reduced.

Worcester felt the national trends of movement away from historic urban centers. The city's population would drop over 20% from 1950 to 1980. In the mid-20th century large urban renewal projects were undertaken to try and reverse the city's decline. A huge area of downtown Worcester was demolished for new office towers and the 1,000,000 sq. ft. Worcester Center Galleria shopping mall. After only 30 years the Galleria would lose most of its major tenants and lose its appeal to more suburban shopping malls around Worcester County.

In 1963, Worcester native Harvey Ball introduced the iconic yellow smiley face to American culture.

Worcester, Western Cape
Captain Charles Trappes was responsible for the planning of the town. A dubious character in some ways, Trappes, however, was far in advance of his time when he laid out the wide streets and town blocks with vision and a high regard for squares. Trappes made the early builders put the houses close to the street and soon these builders would develop their own style of gables. An early visitor, James Backhouse found 1300 people living in the rising town in 1840. According to the 1844 Cape Almanac, William Watson ran one of the best hotels in the country and Bishop Gray said in 1845 that the houses were a great distance from each other.
Worcester County, Massachusetts
Worcester County was formed from the eastern portion of colonial Hampshire County, the western portion of the original Middlesex County and the extreme western portion of the original Suffolk County. When the government of Worcester County was established on April 2, 1731, Worcester was chosen as its shire town (later known as a county seat). From that date until the dissolution of the county government, it was the only county seat. Because of the size of the county, there were fifteen attempts over 140 years to split the county into two counties, but without success. Initially, Lancaster was proposed as the seat of the northern county; later, Petersham was proposed once and Fitchburg was proposed repeatedly, most recently in 1903. Perhaps as a concession, in August 1884 the Worcester County Registry of Deeds was split in two, with the Worcester Northern registry placed in Fitchburg.

The daytime maximum in summer averages in the low 30 °C's, but some days in February can reach in excess of 40 °C. Summer is generally dry with the rare late summer thunderstorm, whilst spring and autumn are shoulder seasons of pleasant temperatures ranging from an average 10 °C minimum to 25 °C maximum, with the occasional rain shower. Winters are generally very windy and often cool to cold with snow being common on the higher lying ground above 1500m. Daytime maximums range from 10 °C-17 °C, with minimums hovering at or just above freezing. Winter brings most of Worcester's 175 mm of annual rainfall.

Historical United States Census totals for Worcester County, Massachusetts
2000 Census 
The Census Bureau made a number of revisions to 2000 census totals subsequent to their initial release. The 2000 total for Worcester County was originally reported as 750,963; for the town of Milford, 26,799; for the town of Lancaster, 7,380; for the town of Upton, 5,642; and for the town of Mendon, 5,286. The totals were later revised to those shown in the list above. At least part of the issue may have been assignment errors between Lancaster and the neighboring town of Shirley, in Middlesex County (the two towns shared in part the former Fort Devens military base), and between Milford, Upton and Mendon; as a result of the revisions, the totals for Shirley, Upton and Mendon increased and the totals for Lancaster and Milford dropped, although not by exactly the same amount in either case.
