Mansfield MA Community Profile & History
Mansfield, Massachusetts is an industrial railroad town in Bristol county. In its earliest days, the town was the unsettled frontier of Taunton, used for hunting, fishing and some livestock grazing. The earliest permanent settlement of the community took place in the 1680s.
During the Colonial era, the town's economy was based on a mixture of agriculture and ironworking. The first grist mill was established in 1695 and the first iron forge in small industrial base was established with several tack factories, cotton mills, machine foundries and straw hat manufacturers. Local officials made a conscious effort to diversify town business.
It appeared that the community's commercial destiny was decided when the railroads arrived in the 1830s and the town was established as a refueling and freight transfer point. However, later in the 19th century, the town suffered from a decline in rail freight, and local officials were actively engaged in attempting to draw new business to town.
The Mansfield Board of Trade was formed in 1892 and was instrumental in drawing new industries to the region. Among the companies that moved here were jewelry firms which had been settled in Attleboro. Immigrants from Italy, Ireland, England and Canada moved to Mansfield to fill the manufacturing and farming jobs in the town, which was site of experimental gladioli farms. The construction of Routes 24 and 495 and the development of a joint Mansfield/Foxborough industrial park prompted further commercial expansion in the latter half of the 20th century. Conveniently located just 40 minutes' drive from Boston, the commercial, cultural, educational and transportation hub of New England, the community offers a growing economy, excellent opportunities for recreation and leisure, and an outstanding quality of life.
