The town of Carver is situated in Southeastern Massachusetts, 38 miles from Boston and is the site of three rivers, brooks, ponds and sizable swamps. The town had large cedar and pine strands so the abundant water power provided energy for many sawmills. The discovery of iron ore in the region stimulated the development of iron foundries as well, while the agricultural economy in the town was based heavily on cranberries. In the 1940's the town of Carver produced more cranberries than any town in the world, and despite dramatic population increases, Carver's cranberry bogs are still an important part of the town. Additionally, the bogs' forest land and large amounts of water serve to limit development and retain a rural flavor for the community.
