It was officially incorporated on its own in 1822; 2nd of the three communities to separate from Bridgewater (after North Bridgewater, now Brockton, MA and before East Bridgewater, MA) over the span of three years. WB had both agrarian and industrial roots. The Town River provided water power for milling and irrigation for farming. WB is home to the oldest standing parsonage in the US (the Keith House, 1662).
