The ancient town of Bridgewater was the first interior settlement in the County of Plymouth, and was incorporated in 1656, and embraced within its limits the four towns now known as North Bridgewater, East Bridgewater, West Bridgewater, and the present town of Bridgewater. The town was formerly divided into five Parishes or Precincts, viz., North, East, West, South, and Titicut. The North Parish was incorporated into a Town June 15, 1821-the West in 1822-the East in 1823-the South Parish retaining the original name of Bridgewater, which also includes Titicut Parish.
