North Attleborough

North Attleborough is a town in Bristol County, Massachusetts, characterized by residential and commercial districts spread across its landscape. The community includes several waterways and numerous parks that provide green space throughout the area.

The settlement was founded in 1669 when John Woodcock established a tavern that later served as quarters for George Washington during military operations. This early structure marked the beginning of the town's development.

The Richards Memorial Library, founded in 1889, serves as a hub for learning and community connection. Through partnerships with other libraries, it provides residents with access to collections and educational programs.

The town sits at the intersection of Interstates 95 and 295 along with U.S. Route 1, offering direct connections to Boston and Providence. This convenient location makes it easy to explore the region or visit nearby destinations.

The town became a national leader in button production by 1834, establishing a strong foundation for what would become its jewelry manufacturing heritage. This specialized craft shaped the community's economic identity for generations to come.
