Randolph: Shoe Town Turned Diverse Suburb
Randolph produced shoes and boots from the colonial period into the 20th century, with small workshops and later larger factories scattered through the town center. The shoe industry has disappeared entirely, replaced by a suburban economy of commuters, small businesses, and services. The town sits on Route 28 in Norfolk County, about 15 miles south of Boston and accessible by the MBTA bus system that connects to the Braintree Red Line station.
Randolph's demographics shifted markedly beginning in the 1990s, and the town is now one of the most racially diverse communities in Massachusetts. Haitian-American, Vietnamese, and African-American families make up a significant share of the population. This shift is reflected in the restaurants and shops along North Main Street and in the student body of Randolph Public Schools.
Ames Nowell State Park, on the town's southern border with Abington, provides 600 acres of trails and a pond for fishing and canoeing. The Great Pond Reservoir sits near the center of town. Randolph operates under an open town meeting form of government, though discussions about converting to a city charter have arisen periodically as the population has grown.
