Description
View of North Bridgewater, Plymouth County, M.A., 1844 / drawn & published by A. F. Poole.
This panoramic print of North Bridgewater or Brockton, as it is called today, was drawn by A. F. Poole and published by Beck & Pauli, lithographers in 1844. Brockton was established by Europeans in the early 1700's. Then known as North Bridgewater, the community now called Brockton, was a small town in the 1840's that served the many farmers of the area.
Indian corn, rye, barley, oats, hay and potatoes were grown abundantly, as well as apples and pears. Livestock were raised throughout the region, and much production of milk, butter and cheese was carried out in Brockton.
The illustration of North Bridgewater shows buildings, road and stone walls.
