Norwell Real Estate

Norwell

Norwell is a town in Plymouth County, Massachusetts.It was first settled in 1634 as a part of the settlement of Satuit (later Scituate), which encompasses present day Scituate  and Norwell. It was officially created, in 1849 and soon became known as South Scituate. The town changed its name to Norwell in 1888, named after Henry Norwell, a dry goods merchant who provided funds for the maintenance of the town roads. Early settlers were attracted to Norwell for agricultural reasons, with the town later developing a major shipbuilding industry, based on the North and Northwest rivers. Shipbuilding was a major industry on the 1700s through the early 1800s. Some of the finest frigates, schooners, whalers, and merchant vessels were produced in Norwell.

Today, Norwell is an affluent suburban community with over 9,000 residents that has modern schools, shopping, churches, libraries, health facilities, a wildlife preserve, and other support facilities as well as three large industrial parks.
 
Located on the South Shore, Norwell is bordered by Hanover and Rockland on the west, Pembroke on the south, Marshfield and Scituate on the east and northeast, and Hingham on the north. Norwell is about 14 miles east of Brockton, 17 miles north of Plymouth and 20 miles south of Boston.
 
Much of Norwell's eastern border lies along the North River, where many shipbuilding companies once stood. There are many other brooks and ponds throughout the town, including Third Herring Brook, which constitutes much of the town's border with Hanover, Accord Pond at the junction of Norwell, Rockland and Hingham, and Jacobs Pond, along Route 123. The northern half of the town is hilly, and the southern end of Wompatuck State Park juts into the town.
Norwell is currently ranked 52wealthiest town in Massachusetts. (Plymouth County is ranked approximately the 150th wealthiest county in the United States.)
 
Norwell is governed on the local level by the open town meeting form of government, and is led by an executive secretary and a board of selectmen. The town operates its own police and fire departments, both of which are headquartered near the town center. There is also a branch firehouse between Assinippi and Accord, in the western part of town. The town has an emergency services division within the fire department; all emergency room visits are brought to South Shore Hospital. The town has its own post office, also located at the town's center.
 
There are three libraries throughout the town, two of which are independent. The Norwell Public Library is behind the high school near Assinippi, and belongs to the Old Colony Library Network (OCLN). The James Library and Center for the Arts is located near the town center, and is associated with the First Parish Church of Norwell. The James Library was founded by Josiah Leavitt James of Chicago, a former resident of South Scituate, who was persuaded by Rev. William Hamilton Fish, minister of First Parish Church, to fund a town library. The South Shore Natural Science Center, located next to Jacobs Pond, also has a small nature library.
 
Norwell has its own school department for its approximately 2,300 students. There are two elementary schools for students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, the Grace F. Cole Elementary School in the western part of town, and the William G. Vinal Elementary School in the eastern part. The Norwell Middle School, located near the modern Town Hall on Route 123, serves grades 6-8. Norwell High School is located near Assinippi and serves students from ninth through twelfth grade. Norwell High School is a competitive school, known for its academic excellence and outstanding curriculum. Norwell High's teams are known as the Clippers (in honor of the town's former shipbuilding industry), and their colors are blue and gold. The school's major rival is Hanover High, whom the football team plays in their annual Thanksgiving Day game. Norwell is known for its extremely successful math team, who have won their division in the last two seasons, beating out the competitive Notre Dame Academy, as well as its award-winning drama club. Norwell girls lacrosse is very well known throughout the South Shore, having won three division two state championships.
 
Norwell is also home to the South Shore Charter Public School, a charter school which serves students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. There are no private schools in the town. High school students also have the option of attending South Shore Regional Vocational Technical High School in neighboring Hanover free of charge. The nearest college to the town is Massasoit Community College in Brockton.
 
Route 3 passes through the town twice, across the southern portion of the town and another short portion near the west of the town. There are no exits in the town off this freeway, but there are exits, 13 and 14, in the interim space between the two portions and just north of the second portion. Both access routes which immediately enter the town. The major route through the town is Route 123, which passes from east to west through the town, just before its end at Route 3A in neighboring Scituate. Routes 53 and 228 also pass through the town, with Route 228 ending just over the town line in Rockland at its intersection with Route 3.
 
Norwell has no rail or air service within the town. The nearest rail service is the Greenbush line of the MBTA’s commuter rail in neighboring Scituate, just one mile from the Norwell town line. The nearest regional airport is Marshfield Municipal Airport; the nearest national and international service can be reached at Logan International Airport in Boston.
