About Norton, Massachusetts
Norton is a town of 19,202 people in Bristol County. Taunton acquired its land in the North Purchase of 1668, when Metacomet signed a deed that also took in what became Mansfield and Easton. William Wetherell put up the first house in 1669, on the east shore of Winnecunnet Pond, and the settlement was called North Taunton because it sat at Taunton's northern edge.
On March 17, 1710, it was set off from Taunton and named for Norton in Oxfordshire, England, the home of many early settlers. The town raised a tax in 1712 to build a house for its chosen minister, Rev. Joseph Avery, who took nearly four years to accept and settled here in 1714. Later the town shrank as Easton split off in 1725 and Mansfield in 1770.
“Wheaton College, beautiful for situation, ideal for collegiate advantages, once the struggling seminary, is now everywhere known and honored.”
- Iron at Chartley from 1695Major George Leonard, then his son and grandson of that name, kept it smelting ore until near 1800. With coins scarce, its iron bars paid taxes and served as wedding gifts. A December 1741 fire cost about a thousand pounds. The works gave Chartley its name, and Norton marked the site with a granite tablet in 1889.
- The leopard of 1801In 1801 a leopard escaped from a traveling showman and attacked Michael Sweet, a boy of fourteen. It let him go when it went after a pig, and then it was shot, the only leopard ever killed in Norton. The town's hogs had their own freedom too: by town meeting vote they roamed the Common until 1816, when they were penned up for good.
- Wheaton's seminary, 1835Laban Wheaton arrived in Norton in 1788. He headed the Bristol County bar and sat in Congress for eight years. After his daughter Eliza Wheaton Strong died in 1834, his daughter-in-law pressed him to use her share of his estate for a school for women. The seminary's doors opened on April 22, 1835, to 50 students taught by three teachers.
- Wheaton College in 1912The seminary took the name Wheaton College in 1912, and its first class of both men and women entered in 1988. Judge Wheaton is said to have refused to buy railroad stock, which is why the tracks that opened in 1836 run about a mile east of the town center.
- Pennies from the Copper WorksCrocker and Richmond built a mill for rolling copper here in 1825. From 1837 William A. West used the Copper Works to prepare cents for the U.S. Mint, about 60 tons a year, and the name still marks that part of town.
