History:
Originally inhabited by the Pocomtuc tribe, the area was known as Peskeompskut. Montague was first settled by Europeans in 1715 and was incorporated in 1754. The town has five villages within it: Montague Center, Montague City, Turners Falls, Millers Falls, and Lake Pleasant. The Turners Falls Canal through Montague was one of the first canals in the United States, and important in early transport along the Connecticut River, and Lake Pleasant was a prominent spiritualist campground. Turners Falls was a planned mill community (similar to but less successful than that at Lowell, Massachusetts) that developed when the canal was converted to use for power production rather than transportation in the mid 19th century. Between 1974 and 1980, the Montague Nuclear Power Plant was proposed for construction in the town.
Montague has claimed to be the location of a maple tree that inspired poet Joyce Kilmer (1886–1918) to write the popular 1913 poem "Trees", however family accounts and documents establish the poem was written in Mahwah, New Jersey.
Musician Tiny Tim suffered a heart attack on stage on September 28, 1996 at the Montague Grange Hall; his health never recovered and he died on November 30, 1996 in Minnesota.
