Stoughton is in Norfolk County.
KNOWOL made this map in 2026 from public survey data and set it down in the style of an old atlas. United States Geological Survey elevation data shapes the hills, and the roads and the town line come from the Census Bureau. Stoughton covers 16.3 square miles about 17 miles from Boston, bordered by Canton on the north, Randolph on the northeast, Avon on the east, Brockton on the southeast, Easton on the south and Sharon on the west. Its highest point, about 350 feet above sea level, is a hill in the southwest of town. Stoughton had 29,281 people at the 2020 census.
Out of Dorchester
The Town of Stoughton’s recorded history, in the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s list, dates European settlement to 1713, and Stoughton was incorporated as a town in 1726 from the southwestern part of the large town of Dorchester. At first it took in what are now Sharon, which separated in 1765, Canton, in 1797, and Avon, in 1888. It was named for William Stoughton, the first chief justice of the colony’s courts. Stoughton began as a farming town and became an important shoemaking center, and its public library was founded in 1874.
In 1774 the Boston composer William Billings taught a singing school in Stoughton, and it inspired 25 men of the town to form the Stoughton Musical Society on November 7, 1786. It’s the oldest choral society in the United States, and its constitution, written in 1787 just weeks after the United States Constitution, is the oldest of any musical society in the country. Around 1790 its singers met the chorus of the First Parish Church in Dorchester in what’s believed to be the first singing contest held in America. The Stoughton men sang Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus from memory and without instruments, and the Dorchester chorus conceded. The society sang several concerts at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, and since 1908 it has been called the Old Stoughton Musical Society.
The station with the clock tower
Stoughton’s railroad station opened in March 1888, Charles Brigham’s first work as an independent architect. It’s built of granite from the Myron Gilbert Quarry in Stoughton, in the Richardson Romanesque style, and its 62-foot tower holds four clock faces by E. Howard & Co. It was called Stoughton Central at first, and on November 1, 1896, it became simply Stoughton, while the town’s other station took the name South Stoughton. By 1967 it was the last terminal station in the area with a clock tower, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Town Meeting voted to buy the building in 2015, and the town took it over in 2019, the year it stood in for Concord’s station in the film Little Women.

Around the map
Start with North Stoughton. Follow Canton Street, Park Street, Central Street, Turnpike Street, Sharon Street and Washington Street across town. Then look outward toward Four Corners, South Stoughton, Stoughton Junction and West Stoughton. Ames Long Pond, Pinewood Pond, Puds Pond, Bolivar Pond, Stoughton Memorial Conservation Land, Bird Street Conservation Land, Neary Mountain and Rattlesnake Hill are all printed on the map. The town runs swimming programs at Ames Long Pond, and Halloran Park has picnic areas and a basketball court. Stoughton marks the Fourth of July with a parade and fireworks at the high school, honors veterans with a parade on Veterans Day, and holds a Holiday Parade of Lights in December. It was also the first municipality in Massachusetts to declare itself a “No Place for Hate” town. The songwriter Lori McKenna, who won Grammy Awards for “Girl Crush” and “Humble and Kind,” was born and raised in Stoughton and still lives here, and the gymnast Fred Richard, who won an Olympic team bronze medal in 2024, went to Stoughton High School; the town named October 6 Frederick Richard Day in his honor.
The Stoughton map makes a fine addition to an office, library or den, and it can help teach children the geography and history of a singing town south of Boston. It’s made for people who call Stoughton home, from North Stoughton to Four Corners, and it shows the town as it looks today.
