Dedham: Mother Town of Norfolk County
Dedham was incorporated in 1636 and served as the shire town (county seat) of Norfolk County since the county's creation in 1793. The Norfolk County Courthouse on High Street has been the site of notable trials, including the Sacco and Vanzetti case, which was tried in Dedham before Judge Webster Thayer from 1921. The Fairbanks House, built around 1637 on East Street, is considered the oldest surviving timber-frame house in North America.
Legacy Place, an outdoor shopping center on Providence Highway (Route 1), has replaced much of the older commercial activity in the town. The downtown area along High Street and Washington Street retains older buildings and a more traditional commercial character. The commuter rail stops at Dedham Corporate Center and Endicott stations. I-95 and Route 1 run through the town, providing highway access in multiple directions.
Mother Brook, dug in 1639 to connect the Charles River to the Neponset River, is considered the oldest man-made waterway in the United States. It still flows through the town, powering a small hydroelectric plant. Dedham operates under a representative town meeting form of government. The town's population is stable, with a mix of older residents in the center and younger families in the neighborhoods closer to the schools.
