| The Town of Dover is an affluent suburban community set between the western
and southwestern axis of metropolitan Boston expansion. Incorporated in
1784, Dover relied on agriculture and grazing as the basis for its colonial
economy although the ruggedness of its terrain plus the relative lack of
water power limited its early growth. The damming of the Charles River in
the late 18th century provided some power and allowed the development of
mills which made nails and rolled iron, but the future of the community was
not industrial. By the late 19th century, Dover was a firmly suburban
community some of whose residents had assembled large country estates.
Wealthy Bostonians created at least 18 estates between 1901 and 1914 alone,
some of them as large as 300-400 acres.
Modern Dover is a residential community still retaining much semi-rural
character although there has been some development and subdividing of
estate lands. |
