West Bridgewater Mass
is a small residential town bordering on the City of Brockton, and located
at the junction of Routes 24 and 106. It is also close to Route 495, making
the town's accessibility one of its greatest assets. This access along
with availability of land has resulted in increased commercial, warehouse
and industrial activity near the highway in this community which was once
primarily agricultural. The town does, however, retain working farms which
contribute to its scenic character.
The two major roads which cross through
the town (Route 28 and Route 106) have served as the main business districts
due to the heavy traffic on these routes. Particularly notable is the concentration
of antique dealers located in several antique shops and two cooperatives.
The most beautiful spot in the town is the historic War Memorial Park along
Town River, which has been recently restored through the efforts of several
dedicated volunteers.
The success of this restoration has
contributed to enthusiasm in other community projects such as plans for
a playground, adoption and maintenance of traffic islands by residents,
and a free summer concert series at the gazebo, sponsored by local businesses
and organizations.
West Bridgewater Mass is located
in Eastern Massachusetts, bordered by Brockton on the north, East Bridgewater
on the east, Easton on the west, Raynham on the southwest, and Bridgewater
on the south. West Bridgewater is 25 miles south of Boston; 60 miles southeast
of Worcester; and 30 miles northeast of Providence, Rhode Island. |
