A group of sawmill residents who built along the great Cedar Swamp
petitioned the Annual Town Meeting of Dedham in 1721 for the privilege of
becoming a separate Town with their own minister. Their petition was
finally accepted in 1724 and they chose their Town's name in honor of the
Prime Minister of England, Sir Robert Walpole.
The route of the Post Road traversed Walpole in which weekly postal service
began in 1693 between New Hampshire and Baltimore; then later the first
stagecoach line in New England which began in 1718. This ideal location is
just 19 miles south of Boston and 26 miles north of Providence, and now has
Routes 1, 1A, 27 as well as MBTA Commuter Rail and bus service to Boston.
Because of the natural resources of Great Cedar Swamp, bog iron and the
Neponset River which falls 151 feet in Walpole, industry was attracted to
locate early in Walpole. The community has always maintained an industrial
tax base. Yet because of its vast 20 square miles of beautiful land, many
families have found the charm of its rural character to be an ideal place
to raise a family. Thus, the Town has evolved over time into a growing
bedroom community with a stable mix of commercial and industrial land uses.
The townspeople are known for their typical New England hard work ethic, a
very competitive attitude, particularly in sports; a strong pride in
community and its schools and promotes as its motto: "Walpole, The Friendly
Town".
Eastern Massachusetts, bordered by Dover on the north, Medfield and Norfolk on
the west, Foxborough on the south, Sharon and Norwood on the east, and Westwood
on the northeast. Walpole is 18 miles southwest of Boston; 25 miles northeast of
Providence, Rhode Island; and 205 miles from New York City.
