East Bridgewater Massachusetts
Location:
Southeastern Massachusetts, bordered by Hanson and Halifax
on the east, Bridgewater on the south, West Bridgewater on
the west, Brockton on the northwest, and Whitman on the
north. Reached via state route 18 from the north or south,
or state route 106 from the east or west. East Bridgewater
is primarily a residential community centrally located in
Plymouth County 14 miles northeast of Taunton, 22 miles
northwest of Plymouth, 25 miles southeast of Boston, and 207
miles from New York City.
Narrative:
First settled in 1630 as an outgrowth of the Plimoth and
Duxbury plantation, the Town of East Bridgewater was an
early industrial inland town located on the northern portion
of the Taunton River system. Its early economy was based on
agriculture but the community did have both grist and
sawmills, iron forges and tanneries. The late 19th and early
20th century saw residential development along the trolley
lines in the community.
The Bridgewater Branch Railroad from Whitman through East
Bridgewater stimulated further industrial growth, and the
town was the site of the Carver Cotton Gin Manufacturing
Company, foundries and forges, boot and shoe manufacturing,
and textile mills. The real population expansion, however,
followed the Second World War, and the town now has a
heavily residential population.
