Welcome to Medfield

Medfield was incorporated in June, 1651, after separating from the Town of Dedham. By 1660 the town was mapped out and had a population of 234. In 1675 when the King Philip War began Medfield was considered the frontier town. Gradually Medfield began to grow. Economically the town was a rural farming community. By the 1800’s the population of Medfield had grown to 745 and the straw-hat industry began. This million-dollar business was the main industry of the town until 1954. By 1901 Medfield had three sawmills, slaughterhouses, a tannery and 2 cider mills. It was a typical New England town consisting of 335 dwellings and 1600 residents. Education was of great importance and the largest part of the town’s budget.

Today Medfield is a charming suburban town west of Boston with a population of over 12,000. The willingness of voters to continue to better their town is illustrated by the new library, the town hall, the post office and an ongoing expansive school project. Medfield has an excellent school system. It is known for its quality and the success of its students. The students score extremely well on the MCAS and the town continues to focus on education as a central issue. The form of government is open town meeting. The annual town meeting in April establishes the policy and procedures of the Town. An elected three member Board of Selectmen administers these policies and procedures. Medfield also enjoys recreation in Rocky Woods Reservation, Noon Hill Reserve and the Wardner Farm Trust. Medfield continues to be a town with a wonderful atmosphere, close proximity to Boston and easy access to train service.
