Located in western Massachusetts, on the banks of the Connecticut River and part of the Springfield metropolitan area, Holyoke was an important hub of the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, and is known as the "Paper City" - famous for having housed nearly half of the nation's paper mills in the late 1800's. Today, the city combines industrial history with natural charm, and is home to Mount Tom State Park, which is the first of its kind in Massachusetts. Today, this city combines industrial history and natural charm with Mount Tom State Park, which offers panoramic views of the Connecticut River Valley, and a downtown with a collection of Victorian-era industrial buildings, including the Holyoke Canal System, which still stands as a testament to the prosperity of water transportation in the days of yore. As a multicultural community, the city retains its history and continues to revitalize itself with traditional events such as the annual Three County Fair and educational institutions such as Holyoke Community College.
Arthur is a small unincorporated community in Elko County, Nevada, United States, located in the northeastern part of the state on the edge of the Great Basin, surrounded by a vast desert and ranching landscape. It is sparsely populated, with fewer than 200 permanent residents according to recent statistics, and retains a typical western small-town appearance, with a historic school, post office, and a handful of local stores in the center of the community, and economic activity that relies heavily on the surrounding livestock and mining industries. Away from large urban centers and with starry nights, Arthur is one of the destinations for experiencing Nevada's quiet country life and a gateway to surrounding state parks and nature preserves for travelers seeking untouched natural beauty.
