Dedham is a small town with more than 25,000 residents that abuts Boston. Residents enjoy the dense suburban environment that offers them all they need including great restaurants, coffee shops, and parks. It’s the perfect place to call home – and has been a popular Boston suburb for many decades.
It has a rich and fascinating history with a thriving modern culture. Dedham is home to the oldest standing timber-frame house, Fairbanks House, in the US as well as the first man-made canal in North America, Mother Brook, in 1639. The town thrived for decades as a center for leather and paper production, powered by the many many dams and mills in Mother Brook.
Dedham has an urban feel, and most people own their homes there, living comfortably for many years to come. However, this comfort is disrupted every summer by the presence of mosquitos, ticks, and other warm-weather pests that thrive in coastal regions.
