The Town of Carver is situated in southeastern Massachusetts, 38 miles from
Boston, and is the site of three rivers, brooks, ponds and sizeable swamps.
The town had large cedar and pine stands so the abundant water power
provided energy for many sawmills. The discovery of iron ore in the region
stimulated the development of iron foundries as well, while the
agricultural economy in the town was based heavily on cranberries. In the
1940's, the Town of Carver produced more cranberries than any town in the
world and despite dramatic population increases, Carver's cranberry bogs
are still an important part of the town. Additionally, the bogs, forest
land and large amounts of water served to limit development and retain a
rural flavor for the community.
Money from iron built handsome mansions in Carver, some of which still
exist, while the foundries and bogs drew immigrant workers from the Cape
Verde islands and from Finland who remain as part of the town's population.
Although Carver is now clearly a suburban commuter community, it is one of
the few towns with a significant remaining agricultural component as
cranberries have become a big national business.
Southeastern Massachusetts, bordered by Middleborough on the west, Plympton on
the north, Kingston on the northeast, Plymouth on the east, and Wareham on the
south. Carver is 40 miles southeast of Boston; 39 miles east of Providence,
Rhode Island; and 219 miles from New York City.
