FACILITY LOCATION
The area now known as Waterville was once inhabited by a specific tribe of Indians known as the Abenaki Indians. The wilderness outside the city was rugged and the long winters were always cold, but the beauty and power of the various rivers within the area proved to draw more people to Waterville creating a place where new schools and businesses could take root. New shops and restaurants also have began to flourish.
