How the name was read

Each atlas was set in type by a different hand and scanned decades later, so the same establishment comes back spelled differently. Every reading below was produced by the recogniser from the sheets; none was corrected or invented. They are published so a search for any of them finds this page.

Named in the 1884 county history

The history of Norfolk County was published 8 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

The past ten years have seen a rather general movement to mark historic localities. An interesting memorial is the tablet inserted in a boulder near Bound Rock, close by Lincoln's Mill Pond. The boulder rests against the town boundary stone by the roadside of South Main Street, at the Scituate line.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Norfolk County, Massachusetts, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
