Home Activities in New England by Town Abington, MA

Abington, MA

Town hall
Abington Town Hall

Abington is a town in the South Shore of Massachusetts. First settled in 1668, its original size was much larger; it included the area that now makes up Bridgewater, Whitman, Rockland and part of Hanover. Incorporated in 1712, Abington was named after Anne Venables-Bertie, the Countess of Abington, Cambridgeshire. Starting in 1820, shoe-making became Abington’s first major industry and remained so until the early 20th century. Abington was one of the major shoe suppliers to the Union Army during the Civil War. Today Abington remains a quiet, residential town.
