WE SERVE YOU AT YOUR HOPKINTON PROPERTY
Incorporated in 1715, Hopkinton is currently home to more than 15,000 residents, with nearly 2,500 living in a village within the town called Woodville. The town’s name came from Edward Hopkins, an early colonist who invested a large sum of money in various lands around New England.
When the town first started, Hopkinton primarily relied on grain as its production crop. Later, fruit and dairy industries became more popular, and the city began relying on these as their sources of revenue. Agriculture remained the town’s primary purpose until the boot and shoe industry took hold in 1840.
Every year in April, Hopkinton hosts over 30,000 runners and 500,000 spectators for the Boston Marathon. The marathon’s starting line is located near the northeast corner of Hopkinton Town Common.
215 Hopkinton properties are listed and protected in the State Register of Historic Places. Much like the rest of New England, the amount of history is unsurprising, with plenty of open space and natural resource access. However, these old homes, open land, and water resources can invite plenty of unwanted pest populations.
