  • Spotlight on Middleborough
    SPOTLIGHT ON MIDDLEBOROUGH WELCOME TO MIDDLEBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS The town was first settled by Europeans in 1661 as Nemasket, later changed to Middlebury, and officially incorporated as Middleborough (Sometimes referred to as Middleboro) in 1669. The name Nemasket came from a Native American settlement along the small river that now bears the same name. Nemasket may have meant “place of fish”, due to the large amount of herring that migrate up the river each spring. The English religious dissenters called the Brownists developed their governance institutions and then emigrated on the Mayflower, and were the earliest settlers of Middleborough where their town and church governance ethics were continued.
