Canton, Norfolk County

Canton was officially incorporated on February, 23 1797 from the town of Stoughton, Massachusetts. The name "Canton" comes from the early belief that Canton, China was on the complete opposite side of the earth (antipodal).[1] Paul Revere built the nation's first Copper Rolling Mill there in 1801 and wrote the poem entitled Canton Dale about his affection for the town. Canton is also the birthplace of the Rising Sun Stove Polish Company founded by Elijah Morse, a wealthy merchant, creator of the pot-belly stove.

 

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 19.6 square miles (50.7 km²), of which, 18.9 square miles (49.0 km²) of it is land and 0.6 square miles (1.7 km²) of it (3.27%) is water.

 

Canton lies at the foot of Great Blue Hill. The Canton River flows through the center of the town, linking a chain of small lakes including Bolivar and Forge Ponds and flowing into the Neponset River. The Neponset River forms the boundary between Canton and its western neighbors: Norwood, Westwood, and Dedham. In addition to wooded land, the area includes wetlands, particularly in the eastern part along Route 138 near the Randolph and Stoughton, and in the western part along Route 95.

 

Canton borders the towns of Dedham, Milton, Norwood, Randolph, Sharon, Stoughton, Westwood and the Hyde Park neighborhood of the city of Boston.

 

Canton is divided into two sections, both East Canton and Canton(proper) with Route 138 as its divider. East Canton is primarily resedential while Canton itself is made up of the Financial District/Center, Cobbs Corner where Canton merges with Stoughton and Sharon , and a variety of mixed income neighborhoods.

 

The Town of Canton operates three public elementary schools, one public middle school and a public high school, Canton High School. Canton also has one private school, St. John's, serving grades K-8. In addition, the state's Massachusetts Hospital School is in Canton.

 

The Blue Hills Regional Technical School and the Canton campus of Massasoit Community College are located within the town.

 

Clarke School for the Deaf operates a satellite school, "Clarke East", in Canton for children who are diagnosed with deafness at an early age and then are mainstreamed to a public school. Clarke School is the oldest school for the deaf in the country that teaches children to lip-read and speak orally, rather than the use of sign-language.

Interstate Routes 93 and 95 (Route 128) diverge in Canton. Route 93 goes east, then north into Boston, from which it continues north into New Hampshire. Route 95 is locally a beltway that skirts Boston to the west, continues circling Boston until it is north of the city, then goes north through New Hampshire into Maine. South of Canton, it leads to Rhode Island, New York, Washington, D.C. and ultimately to Florida.

 

Route 138 has a cloverleaf interchange with Route 93 in Canton near Great Blue Hill. From Canton, it goes north into Milton, then enters Boston in the Mattapan section. South of Canton, it travels to Stoughton, continuing into Rhode Island, ending in Newport.

 

Route 24 is a divided, limited-access highway that originates at Route 93 in Randolph, just east of Canton. From there, it goes south through the easternmost corner of Canton, running roughly parallel to Route 138 as far as Portsmouth, Rhode Island.

 

MBTA commuter rail trains on the Providence/Stoughton Line pass through Canton. Some stop at Canton Junction. This line crosses the Neponset River on the Canton Viaduct, a prominent local landmark. Route 128 Station in neighboring Westwood also carries many Canton commuters into Boston. Amtrak trains (including the Acela Express high-speed trains) also stop at Route 128, but pass through Canton without stopping. Of note, on March 25, 2008 a runaway box car crashed into a MBTA train at Canton Junction station injuring 150 people onboard.

Another line branches into Stoughton, stopping at Canton Center. Bus service is available to Mattapan Station in the MBTA system.

 

Although Canton once had an airfield, it no longer does. Norwood Memorial Airport is the closest airport to Canton. For scheduled air service, residents go to Boston's Logan International Airport or to T. F. Green Airport in Rhode Island.
