Established as a town in 1667, Mendon at one time encompassed much of the land now incorporated as Hopedale, Bellingham, Blackstone, Millville, Uxbridge, Northbridge and Upton--its present-day neighbors. Accordingly, the earliest of the forty-nine volumes in this collection, are the oldest in the region.
