The town of Enfield, Massachusetts sent invitations across the country to former residents and natives to come celebrate its centennial July 2, 3, and 4, in 1916. Private contributions supplemented the $1000 appropriated by the town for festivities, which included a parade of "floats, automobiles, horribles, etc."; religious services; sports events; band concert; and fireworks. Executive committee members were: Dr. Willard B. Segur; R.W. Hewitt; J.W. Flint; D.W. Howe; and Charles W. Felton.

Enfield was among the Western Massachusetts towns abolished in 1938 to allow the Swift River Valley to be flooded, thereby creating the Quabbin Reservoir to provide Boston with water.
