DID YOU KNOW?

New England is the home to America’s Industrial Revolution. Although it is rarely acknowledged, one of the most significant events in technological history took place in 1883 when Thomas Edison electrified central Brockton. Edison chose Brockton because it featured a classic New England village center, was near Boston, and was one of the most progressive small cities in the nation. Edison’s central system in Brockton was the first to employ all of Edison’s generator wiring, conductors, feeder lines, and meters.

The highly efficient power station was the first plant on earth to cross the boundaries of illumination and introduce completely safe commercial electric motors, electric appliances, and electric street-car (trolley) traction. It also allowed for aesthetically pleasing underground wiring. For more information, please visit brocktonhistoricalsociety.org

MUSEUMS & CULTURAL ATTRACTIONS

There’s so much to enjoy right here in the Metro South. Beyond the wide array of shopping and dining, we’ve made art and culture an integral part of our community, evident at the one-of-a-kind Fuller Craft Museum, the acclaimed Brockton Symphony and the inspiring Indaba Theatre of New England. We also love working up a sweat in the great outdoors, as both athletes and fans. We’re lucky enough to be able to ski at our very own Blue Hills, play a round at D.W. Field Golf Course, cheer on the Brockton Rox, kayak down a scenic river and even try our hand at Formula 1 racing, all for much less than one would pay in the city. With a thousand things to see and do, right in our backyard, it’s clear why so many of us are happy to call Metro South home.

WHEN METRO SOUTH IS HOME,

Lakes, cities, countryside. In Metro South, we have access to it all, anytime we want. With the super accessible highway and commuter rail, it’s easy to commute to Boston, head to the Cape for a beach weekend or catch a Patriots game at Gillette.

Plus, with gorgeous parks, golfing, shopping, diverse multi-cultural dining options and attractions like the Fuller Craft Museum, Blue Hills ski area and the Brockton Rox, there’s so much to enjoy—right here at home. With a thousand things to see and do, right in our backyard, it’s obvious why many of us are Metro South residents for life. Call the Metro South Chamber for your free brochure or visit our website to see more attractions!
