| The Town of Middleborough is a 70-square mile historic industrial town on
the Nemasket River and was a major native settlement area used for seasonal
fishing, hunting, and berry gathering. The town is one of only a handful
of southeastern Massachusetts communities that retained a sizeable Indian
population throughout the Colonial period. The first European settler was
Sir Christopher Gardner, a fugitive from English justice who settled among
the Nemasket Indians in 1633. When he was captured and returned to England,
it was several years before a small group of white settlers led by
Elizabeth Poole established themselves within the town.
Agriculture, fishing, hunting and some lumbering were the main occupations
of early settlers and as Indian settlements dwindled, the town's industries
grew. There was a good deal of bog iron found in Middleborough which
stimulated the iron and mill industries. A large self-contained industrial
complex was developed by Judge Peter Oliver, including a blast furnace,
forge, slitting mill, blacksmith, finishing and hammer shops, grist mill
and fuel storage, all of which, along with a country estate, was
confiscated when Oliver fled the Revolution as a loyalist.
Although the iron industry dominated the Federal period, Middleborough also
made shovels, textiles, straw bonnets and woolens. Immigrant populations
of Swedes, Italians, Canadians and Armenians followed the industrial jobs
available. After the Civil War, the town became a rail center, attracting
industrial development, lumbering, box mills, brick making and the
well-known Maxim Motor Company which has been producing fire trucks since
1914. Town officials have recently approved six parcels as sites for
industrial parks and the town plans to embark on an aggressive campaign to
bring businesses in to offset the major suburban residential development
the town has experienced in recent years.
Visitors to Middleborough now can enjoy the partially restored Oliver Mills
Park on the site of Judge Oliver's industrial complex and follow the spring
herring run which brings thousands of alewives upstream to spawn.
Residents are particularly proud of the historic museums in town which
feature recreations of 19th century homes, historic fire engines, Nemasket
Indian artifacts, toy trains and memorabilia of the famous midgets General
Tom Thumb and his wife, a native of the town. |
