ALL RIGHTS RESERVED KOCKLAND. MASSACHUSETTS, 1912 A. I. RANDALL. PRINTER By tF^¥£j? r The Whife' : Bouse March 3rd, 1913 ABINGTON, Massachusetts, which celebrates the Two Hundredth Anniversary of its corporate existence June 9-15, 1912, is located on the highest lands between Boston Harbor and Narragansett Bay in the County of Plymouth. The center of the town is nearly equi-distant from Boston and Plymouth, about 19 miles from each, on the Plymouth Division of the X. V., X. H. & H. R. R. The following is the Order of the General Court convened by Her Majesties writs June the 10th 17TJ by which Abington became a town — In Council. — Upon reading a petition of several of the inhabitants of the easterly part of the town of Bridgewater, and several proprietors of land adjoining, praying to be made a township, the whole of the said tract of land containing about six miles in length and about live miles and a half in breadth — bounded on the north with the line of the late Colonies of Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth, and upon the town of Scituate, south with the line that is the southerly bounds of the lands of John Cushing Sen'r and Jun'r Esqrs — and from thence on the south-westerly side by certain bounds which the town of Bridgewater have set up and prefixed to Beaver Brook — and on the west with the said brook until it comes to the extent of the township of Bridgewater northward — together with a small gore of land lying between the said town of Bridgewater and the line of the aforesaid colonies. The town of Bridgewater having signified their consent thereto, and a plat of the said land being now presented, and the petitioners having set forth that they have settled a learned orthodox minister — Ordered, That the prayer of the petitioners be granted. The tract of land within mentioned to be erected into a town, and that the town be named Abingdon. Tuesday, June 10. 1712. Concurred by the House of Representatives. Consented to. J. DUDLEY. [General Court Records, vol. 9th, page 178.] The Indian name for the town of Abington was Manamooskeagin, which signifies many beavers. The first settlements were made about 1668 and until the time of the first division it was the largest and most important town in the County. The first division was in 1*74 when the town of Rockland was set off, the date of incorporation being- March '•> of that year. March 4, 1S7.">, another portion with a small part of East Bridgewater was incorporated as the town of South Abington, now Whitman. At the time of its incorporation Abington had less than 300 inhabitants: at the present time the population of the old town as given by the town assessors is 19637, divided as follows: Abington 5336, Rockland 6928, Whitman 7373. In the early days when the town was well wooded with pine of large growth and straight and tall white oaks, the timber industry was Page Tin.- the principal business. Saw mills were established as early as 1698 and timber and plank for ship building" was sold in large quantities along the North river, in Hanover and Scituate and also in Duxbury, Plymouth, Hingham, Weymouth and Boston. Capt. Obadiah Hersey of wSouth Abington furnished a lot of white oak planks for the celebrated frigate "Constitution." These planks were very heavy, three of them making a team load and two days being required for a trip to Boston and return. Wooden boxes were manufactured at an early date and still continue one of the important industries of the town. In the early days important iron industries were located in the town and cannon and shot was made for use in the war of the Revolution. Church bells were also made, the first two used in the first church and the only ones used up to 1850 being cast in the town by a bell-founder employed by Col. Aaron Hobart. The manufacture of tacks and brads was early established and residents of this vicinity are closely identified with the evolution of this industry from the time tacks were cut from iron hoops and headed up with a hammer one by one, to the present method of machine manufacture. The manufacture of boots and shoes was begun at an early date and with the making of lasts, heels and other leather working soon became and is today the leading industry. Abington, Rockland and Whitman, located as they are in the heart of the shoe manufacturing district, and peopled by a class of boot and shoe oper- atives second to none in ability and efficiency, present most favorable conditions and offer exceptional advantages for the establishment and up-building of shoe manufacture and kindred industries. The district is well served by banks, there being a National Bank in Abington and one in Whitman and a Trust Company in Rockland; also a Saving's Bank and Co-operative Bank in each of the three towns. In addition to this the Whitman Savings Bank has also a Savings Bank Life Insurance Department. In 17o2 the first school house was built, and ever since the school question has been an important one in the towns. Every effort is made to provide the best possible public school education and with the liberal appropriation voted by the citizens the schools are second to none in efficient teaching, equipment, and, as a rule, are located in the best of modern school buildings. The towns have good roads and sidewalks, which are continually being improved by the addition of a certain amount of macadamized each year. In common with other old towns of this state the church was estab- lished before the town. In 1710 the first meeting house was erected, and on the 8th of December, 1711, the first minister came to Abington to settle by unanimous call of the people. There was only one parish until 1808 and all parish business was done at town meetings. The original first parish is now the First Congregational Church and Page Four Parish in Abington Center where are also located the New Jerusalem Church, the First Universalist Church, the Catholic Church and the General Church of the New Jerusalem. In North Abington is the Fourth Congregational Church, the First Baptist, and in the West part, the Methodist. At Rockland is the First Congregational Church, setoff from the First Parish in 1812, the First Baptist Church, Methodist Church, Unitarian Church, Catholic Church and Christian Science Church. At Whitman is the First Congregational Church, set off from the First Parish in 1807, the First Baptist Church, the Methodist Church, the Unitarian Church, the Catholic Church, the Advent Christian Church and the Episcopal Church. All three towns have an excellent water supply, Abington and Rockland operating joint water works with pumping station located at and water taken from Big Sandy Pond, in Pembroke, Mass. Whitman is supplied with water from Silver Lake in Kingston in connection with the city of Brockton water system. Fire departments of ever increasing efficiency are maintained in each town. The streets are finely lighted by electricity, which is also furnished for power, illumination and other domestic uses by the Electric Light & Pow r er Co. of Abington and Rockland and the Edison Company in Whitman. The Old Colony Gas Company supplies gas for all mechan- ical and domestic uses to all three towns. There are two railroad stations in Abington, one at the Center and one at the North, one in Rockland and two in Whitman. From Abington there are 14 trains to Boston each day, the average running time being 43 minutes; and 7 to Plymouth, and on Sundays 4 trains. North Abington and Whitman have in addition one express train each way. Rockland has 12 trains a day the average running- time being 44 minutes. In addition to the above there are additional trains on Saturdays and during the summer. Electric cars run to all adjoining towns and give half -hourly connection with the City of Brockton, and in the summer time with Nantasket Beach and other summer resorts. The towns have an efficient mail service there being about 8 mails each way per day and free delivery. Abington, Rockland and Whitman are to quite an extent residential towns with well kept places and shaded streets, the beautiful elms being a great attraction. They have public libraries, Y. M. C. A., boys' organizations, G. A. R. and kindred organizations, a variety of well established secret societies, woman's clubs and an active Board of Trade in each town. W T ith natural beauty and convenience of location, hi.y'h standards of municipal and individual life, Abington, Rockland and Whitman possess all the characteristics of the ideal New England town.

Like votes were passed at the annual town meetings of Rockland and Whitman in March of the same year, with the addition to the committee of the representatives to the general court; and, after organ- izing, the general committee voted that all selectmen, town treasurers, town clerks and representatives to the general court of the towns of Abington, Rockland and Whitman for the years 1!>K>, 1911 and 1912 should constitute the general committee.

In every war in which our country has been engaged a full quota of soldiers has been furnished and in the call of Massachusetts for volunteers at the opening of the Civil War, the company from old Abington was the first to respond. Previous to the Civil War, Abington was in the fore- front in the discussion of the slavery question, and meetings in the cause of abolition of slavery were held in Island Grove from 1846 to L865, at which all the leaders of that movement were speakers, and which were attended by crowds of sympathizers from far and near. Nothing had ever been done to suitably mark this historic spot except to acquire the land for a public park, which was done some years ago, until 1909 when Capt. Moses N. Arnold of the 12th Massachusetts Volunteers, a native of Abington, erected a boulder bearing a bronze plate with this inscription: "Meetings in the cause of abolition of slavery were held in this Grove yearly from 1846 to 1865. On this spot William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Edmund Quincy, Theodore Parker, Francis Jackson, Parker Pillsbury, George Thompson, Abby Kelley Foster, Lucy Stone, and others addressed the people, suffering all manner of abuse the abolitionists stood steadfast until the slave was made free. Reader take heed! Stand for the right though power and wealth and all your fellows turn against you and persecute you. "I am in earnest — I will not equivocate — I will not excuse— I will not retreat a single inch — and I will be heard". Erected by an Abington Soldier who served and was wounded in the war which ended slavery. It was presented to the town by him and accepted by it in connection with the Memorial Day exercises of 1909. No suitable memorial having been erected to the veterans of the Civil War although the local W. R. C. had been at work collecting funds for this purpose for some time, the matter was finally taken up by the town and at the annual meeting of the town of Abington in March, 1910, it was I Igl 1 llil I \ — ■ V . II Voted, That a committee of twelve to consist of the park commissioners, the moderator, and eight other members to be appointed by the moderator, be chosen to serve without pay to investigate the matter of a soldiers' memorial bridge or soldiers' monument and report in writing in the next annual town report. The moderator appointed the following eight other members of the committee: Mrs. Mary W. Gomley, William B. Arnold, William J. Coughlan, Lewis A. Crossett, Winslow L. Jones, William S. O'Brien, Edward J. Rourke, Frank E. Warren. At the annual meeting of the inhabitants of the town of Abington, held March 11th, 1912, it was voted that William H. Nash, this year elected park commissioner, and John W. Sproul, who served on the committee after the decease of Park Commissioner Cyrus Nelson, be added to the committee on memorial bridge and arch. This committee wisely decided that the proper place tor the memorial was on the historic ground of Island Grove Park and recom- mended to the town that a bridge to stand as a memorial of the 200th Anniversary be built from the end of Wilson Place to the park, at the end of which should be erected the soldiers' memorial in the form of an arch. The town accepted the report, voted the appropriation and with the addition of the funds collected by the Grand Army organizations and substantial private subscriptions, the work is nearing completion in accordance with plans and specifications prepared by J. Williams Beal, architect, and Olmstead Bros., landscape architects. The bronze eagle is the work of Bela Pratt, sculptor. The contract for construction of the arch was secured by Emerson & Norris and the bridge by Wilson & Tomlinson, both Boston firms. The grading and stone work of the Lake street approach is being completed under direction of Supt. of Streets, E. J. Rourke. The bridge, including the piers, is of cement with iron railing; the arch of hammered cement surmounted by a bronze eagle 11 feet high. On the supporting columns of the arch, facing the water, are life-size bas-relief figures, one representing a soldier and the other a sailor of the Civil War. On the grove side are panels for the inscriptions. The bridge is 300 feet from buttress to buttress, 6 feet above water level, 12 feet wide and the piers 21) feet on centers. The arch platform is 12 feet above water level; it is 50 feet from buttress of bridge to base of arch horizontally. The base of arch, including parapet walls, is 33 feet wide. The arch proper is 1!) feet wide, 2.") feet high and 5 feet 3 inches thick. It is 50 feet from the water line to the top of the eagle's wing's. The dedication of this bridge and arch will be the leading feature of Anniversary Week.

Clark Engraving Company, Boston, and the printing is the work of A. I. Randall of Rockland. Every effort has been made to have the book accurate and complete and such omissions as may be noted are because the necessary information was not furnished the Committee within the time specified and they were unable to procure it.
