North
Attleborough Massachusetts is an industrial town in Bristol County on the
Rhode Island border. In pre-Colonial times, it was the site of the Bay
Path, a major Indian trail to Narragansett Bay, the Seekonk River and Boston.
John Woocock and family established a small settlement in North Attleborough
in 1669, which subsisted on agriculture, fishing and hunting but also clearly
liked a little conviviality because by 1670, Woocock had received a license
to open an ordinary, or tavern. The settlement was attacked during the
King Philip war, with two killed and one home burned, but the garrison
house which Woocock had built survived the attack. Recovery was swift after
the war and the community grew very quickly; by 1776 there were 2200 people
living there. In about 1780 a French settler set up a forge for working
brass and the industrial era arrived in North Attleborough.
Englishmen brought with them British machinery from Birmingham in 1794 and designed American improvements in button making which they patented. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, small grist and sawmills were built along the Tenmile River, and subsequently established nail factories were eventually eclipsed by cotton spinning mills. The development of cotton spinning was spurred by the embargo on imports resulting from the War of 1812. Textiles and jewelry manufacturing were the staple industries of the town by 1832 but buttons were king. By 1834 it was said that North Attleborough produced more buttons than anywhere in the United States. North Attleborough Mass is located in Southeastern Massachusetts, bordered by Plainville on the north; Mansfield on the east; Attleboro on the south; and Cumberland, Rhode Island, on the west. North Attleborough is 32 miles southwest of Boston; 12 miles north of Providence, Rhode Island; and 186 miles from New York City. |
