Mr. Brennan, who has worked at Westmorland since 1947, mentioned that the company was established in Wallingford, Conn. in 1939, but actual production didn't start until 1940. The purpose behind forming this silver company was to secure jobs for aluminum workers in case the United States entered the War in Europe. This move was a precaution, as it was expected that most aluminum would be directed to defense contractors.

In the early 1940s, likely around 1942-1943, Westmorland began buying #1525 salt dishes from the Cambridge Glass Co. Each salt dish came with a Westmorland sterling salt spoon and was packaged as gift sets for the company's salespeople to distribute during their sales calls. These sales calls were made to individual potential buyers, not department store buyers. In 1987, the Westmorland Sterling Company moved from Wallingford, Conn. to Lincoln, Mass., the present location. Their five flatware patterns are nationally marketed.
