Attleboro: Jewelry Capital of the Northeast
Attleboro and its neighbor North Attleboro earned the collective title "Jewelry Capital" for their concentration of jewelry manufacturers in the 19th and 20th centuries. Companies like Swank, Balfour, and dozens of smaller shops produced rings, pins, chains, and costume jewelry in factories throughout both towns. The industry declined as production shifted overseas, but some specialty manufacturers remain. The Attleboro Arts Museum, housed in a former factory building on Park Street, exhibits regional art in a space connected to the city's manufacturing past.
The city sits on the Providence and Worcester rail line, about halfway between those two cities. The commuter rail station at Attleboro provides service to Boston's South Station. Route 1 and I-95 run through or near the city, making it a transit point between the Massachusetts and Rhode Island economies. Capron Park Zoo, a small municipal zoo on County Street, has operated since 1937.
The Ten Mile River runs through the center of Attleboro, and the Bungay River joins it from the east. LaSalette Shrine, on Park Street, attracts visitors during the holiday season with an elaborate light display. The city's population includes a growing Brazilian and Central American community that has established businesses along South Main Street and the surrounding blocks.
The Ten Mile River watershed, which drains through Attleboro, has been the focus of environmental restoration projects. The former jewelry factories left behind contamination in some areas, and cleanup has been ongoing. Attleboro's population has diversified in recent years. The city operates under a mayor-council form of government and maintains a school system that serves both the city and surrounding communities through regional agreements.
