KNOWOL made this map in 2026 from public survey data and gave it the look of an old atlas. The relief comes from United States Geological Survey elevation data, and the roads and the town line come from the Census Bureau. East Bridgewater covers 17.5 square miles, with Whitman to the north, Hanson to the east, Halifax to the southeast, Bridgewater to the south, West Bridgewater to the west and Brockton to the northwest. The town had 14,440 people at the 2020 census.
The East Parish
The town’s page says Europeans first settled this land in 1630, as an offshoot of the Plymouth and Duxbury plantations, and the Town of East Bridgewater’s recorded history, in the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s list, dates European settlement to 1649. It was part of Old Bridgewater, and in 1723 it became Bridgewater’s “East Parish.” East Bridgewater was incorporated as a town in 1823, separating from Bridgewater on June 14 of that year, and the town remains part of Plymouth County today.
The town sits on the northern reaches of the Taunton River and lived mostly by farming, though industry followed. Its iron works made muskets and cannon for the colonial armies in the American Revolution. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, houses went up along the rail and trolley lines, and today East Bridgewater is mostly a residential town. Ezekiel Whitman, born here in 1776, went on to represent Maine in Congress both before and after it became a state, helped write Maine’s first constitution and served as chief justice of its Supreme Judicial Court, and he came home to East Bridgewater in retirement. The actor Tom Everett Scott and the Red Sox pitcher Manny Delcarmen are among the town’s notable people. Click here to learn more about the history of East Bridgewater.

Rivers and ponds
The Matfield River flows 6.3 miles south through the town to meet the Town River, and together they form the Taunton River. Where it passes the historic village of Elmwood and runs under Route 18, people call it the Elmwood River. The Satucket River flows west for 5.5 miles from Robbins Pond, a 124-acre natural pond in the southeast corner and the largest body of water in town, to join the Matfield. It’s slow and shallow, rich in iron and tinted the color of tea, and Poor Meadow Brook joins it just below the pond. In the northwest corner, the Beaver Brook Beagle Club holds a large stretch of woods.
