Leicester and Spencer anchor this portion of Worcester County, where the industrial history of Central Massachusetts is visible in the network of reservoirs and millponds. The landscape is defined by its water-powered past, featuring sites like Cider Millpond, Watson Millpond, and Clarks Mill Pond. These water bodies, along with the expansive Stiles Reservoir, historically supported the local manufacturing economies of villages such as Rochdale, Charlton City, and Cominsville.
