http://www.uptonmarealestate.com Tour Upton, MA neighborhoods, condominium developments, subdivisions, schools, landmarks, recreational areas, and town offices. Upton, Massachusetts was put together from the outlying areas of four towns: Sutton, Hopkinton, Mendon and Uxbridge. For more than 100 years, many Upton farmers supplemented their incomes by making boots. By 1837, William Knowlton had established a flourishing straw hat business in the west part of Upton; hatmaking supplanted bootmaking and employed many citizens until 1969. The Knowlton factory has since been converted into apartments and is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Upton's Historical Society not only preserves artifacts from the community's past, but works actively to inform its citizens about the people and places of bygone eras. It's all part of what makes Upton an attractive place to put down roots. Upton is a small, friendly community, primarily residential in nature, and still retaining much of its historic New England splendor. Upton provides its residents with the best of both worlds: quiet, scenic rural surroundings and covenient access to the cities of Boston, Worcester and Providence, all less than an hour's drive away.
