Welcome to the Town of Norton, Massachusetts, established in 1711 and located in Bristol County. Norton is home to Wheaton College, founded in 1834, and the TPC Golf Course, home of the Deutsche Bank Championship Golf Tournament, which is an annual Labor Day Weekend event.
The area known today as the Town of Norton in Bristol County was originally part of the Taunton North Purchase. As more families settled in this area, the people wanted to either form their own town or a separate precinct. The main reasons for this were the distances they had to travel and the poor roads that made it most inconvenient to attend church services in Taunton. The settlers petitioned for a minister, a church, and the right to become a precinct. Thus in 1709, this area became known as the North Precinct of Taunton. On June 12, 1711, the said North Precinct of Taunton was incorporated as the Town of Norton. The town built its first church on the Norton Common.
