Walpole was incorporated in 1724 after a group of sawmill residents who built along the great Cedar Swamp petitioned the Town of Dedham for the privilege of becoming a separate Town with their minister. Walpole’s population has grown since then, and it is now a thriving town in eastern Massachusetts.
In addition to being an up-and-coming town that offers jobs and affordable living opportunities, Walpole also hosts many annual events for residents from all over New England. The Memorial Day Parade features marching bands, floats, antique cars, and fire engines on display. There are plenty of other family-friendly celebrations throughout the year, including Fireworks Night.
Walpole is not a problem-free town, however. As Boston’s moist climates are, many pests problems plague residents here.
