Uxbridge, MA : Town Profile
(last updated:1st Quarter 2006)
The Town of Uxbridge lies on the southern border of Massachusetts at the Rhode Island line. Established as a town in 1727, Uxbridge's bountiful water power provided the basis for large scale industrial development beginning as early as 1775. The town's stone quarries produced the stone to rebuild Boston after the Great fire. In the First World War the town's economy boomed again as the mills worked to produce khaki overcoat cloth for America, France and Italy. As late as 1983, Calumet Mill was still making fancy woolens in Uxbridge. The town retains over 60 handsome Federalist houses as a legacy of its history.
