Upton's beginnings are different from most other towns in the Commonwealth.
Instead of being taken from one town or from common land, it was put
together from the outlying areas of four towns: Sutton, Hopkinton, Mendon
and Uxbridge. The first meetinghouse was built within the walls of the
burying ground; this location in the south part was upsetting to the
Westborough farmers who moved into the northwest section in the following
decades. After many years of controversy, the original meetinghouse was
dismantled, and a new one was built close to the center of what is now the
town common.
For more than 100 years, many Upton farmers supplemented their incomes by
making boots. By 1837, William Knowlton had established a flourishing
straw hat business in the west part of Upton; hatmaking supplanted
bootmaking and employed many citizens until 1969. The Knowlton factory has
been converted into apartments and is on the National Register of Historic
Places.
Upton is a small, friendly community located in southern Worcester County,
primarily residential in nature, and still retaining much of its original
New England flavor. Upton's Historical Society not only preserves
artifacts from the past, but works actively to inform its citizens about
people and
places, which makes it an attractive place to put down roots. Upton is
located 35 miles west of Boston and 13 miles south of Worcester, providing
its residents with the best of both worlds, ie., a quiet environment in
which to reside and access to major cities within 45 minutes.
Southern Massachusetts, bordered by Grafton and Northbridge on the west;
Westborough on the north; Hopkinton, Milford, and Hopedale on the east; and
Mendon on the southeast. Upton is 15 miles southeast of Worcester, 36 miles
southwest of Boston, and 187 miles from New York City.
