• Notes

  The story of Medfield begins in Dedham, which originally included the territory that is now Medfield as well as several other towns.  Dedham was incorporated in 1636 and by 1640 Dedham men started farming and pasturing animals along the broad meadows and continuous plains of our area.  The land was perfect for farming because of the Indian custom of burning the fields each November to provide grazing for wild game.  Our area was first known as Dedham Village.
