The Dwight Manufacturing Company Housing District is a residential historic district in Chicopee, Massachusetts. Roughly bounded by Front, Depot, Dwight, Exchange, and Chestnut Streets, it encompasses a variety of housing built for mill workers at Chicopee's mills during the 19th century. One typical boarding house is the brick building a 2-6-10 Dwight Street, built c. 1832 for the Springfield Canal Company and sold to the Dwight Company in 1844.[2]

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]
