Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Norfolk County, Massachusetts, 1622-1918, Vol. 1 Norfolk County is situated in the eastern part of the state. Two of its towns - Brookline and Cohasset - are segregated, the former being entirely surrounded by parts of Suffolk County, and the latter by parts of Plymouth County and Massachusetts Bay. With these exceptions the county is bounded, generally, on the north by the counties of Middlesex and Suffolk and the Massachusetts Bay; on the east by Massachusetts Bay and the County of Plymouth; on the south by Plymouth and Bristol counties; on the southwest by the State of Rhode Island, and on the west by the counties of Worcester and Middlesex. The county is irregular in shape, straight lines forming the boundaries between Norfolk and Plymouth, Bristol and Worcester counties and the State of Rhode Island, while the other boundaries are represented by lines that do not follow the points of the compass, among them being the curves of the Charles River and the ragged coast line of Massachusetts Bay. Its greatest extent - from Cohasset Harbor to the southwest corner of the county - is about thirty-six miles, and from the most northern point of the Town of Wellesley to the Bristol County line the distance is seventeen miles. While much of the surface of Norfolk County is broken and uneven, no portion of it can be considered mountainous. The most noted elevations are the Blue Hills, in the Town of Milton; Great Hill and King Oak Hill, in Weymouth; the Brookline Hills; Wellesley Hills, in the northern part of Wellesley; Indian Rock, in Franklin; Federal Hill, in Dedham; and the ridge in the central part of Westwood, from which a commanding view of the surrounding country may be obtained. As a rule, the soil of hilly countries is not noted for its fertility, but much of the soil of Norfolk County is strong, especially the lowlands along the Charles and Neponset rivers, and is capable of producing good crops of grains and vegetables adapted to this latitude.
