History

Nipmuc Indians. A medicine man and his son also lived in the area and gave some of the lands to the settlers.

In the past many Sudbury townsfolk who lived on the western side of the town, they had to risk their lives crossing the Sudbury River to go to town meetings and church services. At the time these were compulsory and the city hall was located near the river where the cemetery is now located.

One of America’s oldest inns is located in Sudbury. The Howe family once ran the Wayside Inn. There is even a book of poems about the place by Henry Wadsworth. In 1923 Henry Ford bought and restored the Inn. He then donated it to charity, they still run it as an inn. Henry Ford also added value to the property by adding a school for boys, a chapel, and a mill. In fact, the nursery rhyme ‘Mary had a little lamb’ is said to have been inspired by the Redstone School building that Ford had built. Ford also had other plans for the town which he was unable to fulfill.

Sudbury was, at a time, also home to members of the KKK. But luckily the police became aware of the KKK members in the area after a protest broke out between the KKK and Irish-American youngsters on Sudbury farm. This event which took place in August of 1925 led to the arrest and death of many KKK members and after that, the rest left the town.

It was only after World War 2 that Sudbury truly began to flourish. Many large companies developed in the area. Raytheon (an aerospace technology and development company) had built a research company in Sudbury. This facility was in use from 1958 – 2016. Sperry Rand (an electronic equipment manufacturer) was another company called Sudbury home. In 1970 Digital Equipment Corporation (a major computer company) had offices in Sudbury, filling the town with engineers. These larger companies were required to stay in the business center of town. This allowed Sudbury to remain largely suburban.

Sudbury wasn’t all about technology though, they were also home to millions of carnations and ensured the prosperity of the land through many greenhouses across the town. They also fought against the installation of powerlines across land which is now part of the Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge.
