  • Dedham, MA Town Manager
    Dedham, MA Town Manager Community & Position Profile The Community The Town of Dedham, Massachusetts, is a vibrant and inclusive community of approximately 25,400 residents. Dedham has a strong economic base and involved citizenry as well as a tradition of highly responsive government service and strong financial management. The Town is seeking an experienced management professional with strong municipal and/or business knowledge as well as exceptional leadership and communication skills to serve as its next Town Manager. He or she should strive to have a visible presence in the community, attending events and become actively engaged with citizens. History: Dedham has a rich and fascinating history. Settled in 1635 after the General Court issued orders for the establishment of two inland towns to relieve population pressures within existing settlements, Dedham was incorporated in 1636. The Town’s first mill was built in 1642 where townspeople would grind their own corn with power generated from the Charles River. During the next hundred years other mills were built, including one for leather and one used to manufacture paper. Eventually there were industrial mills for manufacturing cotton, wool, wire, carpets, cloth, nails, and stamped coins. These industries sparked a housing boom for mill workers along with churches, shops, and other businesses that residents demanded. Dedham became the county seat of Norfolk County in 1793. Throughout the following two centuries, Dedham continued to grow and prosper. Today, there are hundreds of businesses located in Dedham, employing more than 15,000 workers. Dedham has recognized three districts in Town for their historic and architectural significance: Franklin Square-Court Street District, also known as the Dedham Village Historic District; Connecticut Corner District; and Federal Hill District.
