WE SERVE YOU AT YOUR HOLBROOK PROPERTY
Holbrook is one of many small towns in the Boston area with a population of just 10 thousand residents. And like many other local New England settlements, Holbrook’s history started with Algonquin Native Americans and Europeans. When the British colonists arrived in the 1600s, Holbrook did not yet exist, as it was initially part of Old Braintree before it broke off into its own in 1710.
Today, Holbrook holds onto its historical roots with centuries-old buildings and canons dispersed throughout the town. Because of its independence anniversary on February 29, 1872, Holbrook also celebrates a unique “birthday” every year.
As Holbrook’s population grew in the 18th and 19th centuries, the town focused primarily on farming and cottage trades. Shoe production completely dominated the local economy and was the town’s primary source of income and job opportunities. Eventually, over time, Holbrook evolved into a residential bedroom community for commuters in and around Boston.
However, with old buildings still spread around this small town, many residents have had their fair share of unwanted pests, including a large amount of termite colonies to be controlled.
