It was a strong producer of rye, flax, potatoes and corn, and there were many orchards. Sandisfield suffered in the late 19th century when the railroad failed to be developed along the Farmington River. Today, Sandisfield, MA is mostly a rural town and has some of the least densely populated parts of the state.
