Sudbury may be a small town, but its history is rich. For starters, Sudbury contributed the most militia for King Philip’s War and was also the site of the infamous attack on Sudbury. The town is also home to one of the nation’s oldest landmarks, the Wayside Inn, which is considered the country’s oldest operating inn.
After World War II, factory jobs became more and more prevalent. Major employers like Raytheon, Sperry Rand, and Digital Equipment Corporation employed many residents in the area. By the 1970s and 1980s, officials put zoning bylaws into effect to keep the town’s rural character as the population and workforce grew. More and more, developments of Colonial and Cape Cod-style homes popped up creating great residential neighborhoods.
Sudbury is known for its Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge and significant tracts of wetland. Unfortunately, wet wooded areas like these often bring out unwanted pests that invade residents’ homes and properties.
