Weymouth

Weymouth is a city in Norfolk County, Massachusetts. Despite its city status, it is formally known as the Town of Weymouth. It is named after Weymouth, Dorset, a coastal town in England.
 
The site of Weymouth first saw European inhabitants in 1622 as Wessagusset Colony, a colony founded by Thomas Weston,  who had been the main backer of the Plymouth settlement. The settlement was a disaster. When the ship landed at Plymouth, William Bradford took in the settlers Weston had sent over. The settlers Weston had sent were soon stealing from the supplies of the Plymouth colonists and Bradford and the other leaders of Plymouth ended up asking Weston's men to leave. The men made their way to present-day Weymouth where they built a small settlement.
By winter, poor planning and bad management led to supplies running out. With the Plymouth colonists having few supplies to share, the Weymouth men began to steal from the local Massachusetts nation. The colonists ended up stealing from native graves and some even made themselves slaves to the Massachusetts in order to get food. By now, many in the colony were ill and all forms of law and order had broken down. The lowest point came when a healthy settler was caught stealing supplies from the Massachusetts and the Massachusetts leaders demanded the thief's execution; the Weymouth men complied but executed a dying, sick settler instead.
 
By spring of 1623, the colony had all but fallen, and the Massachusetts and other native groups began plotting to attack and destroy what was left of Weymouth. Massasoit heard about it and sent word to Plymouth. Bradford, fearing that Plymouth would be also be destroyed, sent Myles Standish to Weymouth with the Plymouth militia to end the threat. Under a banner of truce Standish got the Massachusetts leaders inside the Weymouth fort. There, after a brief struggle, the native leaders were killed. The survivors of the colony went north to Maine, where they got rides back to England with the fishermen who came every summer.
 
Eventually, Thomas Morton traded at Weymouth and Robert Gorges also tried to build a colony at the site, but the New England winter caused Gorges to leave with most of the settlers who had come with him. It became part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630 with 503 inhabitants and was officially incorporated in 1635, then assuming its present name of Weymouth.
 
Weymouth was heavily involved in the shoemaking industry from the first years of the 1700s right through to 1973, when the Stetson Shoe Company closed its doors. The building is currently being used for medical offices.
Five Weymouth citizens have been awarded the Medal of Honor making it the city with most Medal of Honor recipients in the United States: Thomas W. Hamilton, serving in the Civil War; William Seach, serving in the Boxer Rebellion in China; Eldon Johnson, serving in World War II; Ralph Talbot, a pilot in World War I; and Frederick C. Murphy, who also served in World War II.
 
The original town hall, which was destroyed by fire in 1914, was replaced in 1928 with a town hall that is a replica of the old Massachusetts State House in Boston. (Another replica of the building can be found at Curry College in Milton.)
Weymouth contains the Weymouth Back River and the Weymouth Fore River; its surroundings, formerly industrial, are now set aside as parks and natural areas including Webb Memorial State Park. Weymouth residents often designate which of four distinct 'districts' they live in.
  • North Weymouth is considered anything north of the intersection of Church Street, North Street and Green Street. Some of the sites around North Weymouth are Great Esker Park, George Lane Beach, and the Abigail Adams Historical Society.
  • South Weymouth is mostly south of Route 3.
  • East Weymouth is somewhat in the center of Weymouth, including Whitman's Pond, Jackson Square, and Town Hall. East Weymouth has several fine examples of Victorian homes, including Queen Anne, shingle, and colonial revival homes. Some particularly fine examples of these homes are being restored on Hillcrest Road.
  • Weymouth Landing spans a mile around Weston Park.
Weymouth is bordered on the north by Hingham Bay. Weymouth's territory includes Grape Island, Slate Island, and Sheep Island, all part of the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area.  Weymouth is bordered on the west by Quincy, Braintree, and Holbrook. It is bordered on the south by Abington and Rockland.  Weymouth is bordered on the east by Hingham.
 
Weymouth is served by several MBTA Bus routes as well as three MBTA Commuter Rail stations: two on the Greenbush Line, at Weymouth Landing and near Jackson Square, and one on the Old Colony Line at South Weymouth.  
 
Weymouth is Also Served By The Weymouth Youth Transportation Corporation (WYTC) for the Youth of Weymouth. This service is powered by bicycles with front and back pegs. Bus routes provide service to all areas of Weymouth.
Weymouth High School is the one high school in Weymouth. Before a new wing was added to the high school in South Weymouth, there were two high schools: North and South. Recently, a new wing was added to the South school, named the "Gold Building." The North school became Maria Weston Chapman Middle School. More than 2,000 students attend the high school. A brand new athletic surface was completed in 2005, giving Weymouth High School an artificial turf field and a track surface.
 
There are two middle schools, both in East Weymouth.
  • Abigail Adams Middle School
  • Maria Weston Chapman Middle School
There are eight primary schools and one early childhood center, five of which are named after Weymouth's Congressional Medal of Honor recipients.
  • Academy Avenue Primary
  • Frederick C. Murphy Primary
  • Thomas V. Nash Jr. Primary
  • Lawrence W. Pingree Primary
  • William Seach Primary
  • Ralph Talbot Primary
  • Union Street Primary (now renamed Thomas W. Hamilton School but still sometimes called by the former name)
  • Wessagusset Primary
  • Elden H. Johnson Early Childhood Center
In addition, there are five private schools in Weymouth.
  • South Shore Christian Academy, an independent, Christian college preparatory day school for students in grades K-12. SSCA also operates a pre-school program.
  • Saint Jerome Elementary School, a Catholic elementary school for grades Pre K-8.
  • Sacred Heart Elementary School, a Catholic elementary school under the direction of the Archdiocese of Boston for grades Pre K-8.
  • First Baptist Christian, an elementary school for grades Pre K-8, under the direction of the First Baptist Church of Weymouth.
  • St. Francis Xavier, a Catholic elementary school under the direction of St. Francis Parish.
