The town of Dedham was established in 1635 and originally named Contentment, which was quickly renamed to Dedham, after the English county in Essex. In 1643 Dedham introduced the first public school in the United States. It is also home to the oldest timber house in the United States. The first canal built in the United States was built here to connect the Charles and Neponset River. The historic Sacco and Vanzetti trial in the 1920s was held in the Dedham Courthouse. Dedham pottery is a cherished class of antiques, characterized by a distinctive crackle glaze, blue-and-white color scheme, and a frequent motif of rabbits and other animals.
Dedham is sometimes called the "mother of towns" because 14 present-day communities were within its original borders.
