by Chaim M. Rosenberg and the Needham Historical Society (Arcadia Press, 2012). In the mid-19th century, Knitters from the Midlands of England brought their craft to America. Many settled in Highlandville (Needham Heights), giving the village its English character and building the industries that would sustain the Needham economy into the 20th century.
