Geocache Description:


Here is another entry in the history puzzle series. Do some simple research about the city of Attleboro, then go find the cache. Special thanks to groopsoop for graciously allowing me to reuse his container for the final cache hiding spot!

N 41° 55.[A+2]T[L-1] W 71° 17.[B-1][R-1]O


In 1T34, English settlers first arrived in the territory that is now Attleboro.

In 16B7 in response to an unwanted amount of disturbances, mainly from nearby tribes of natives, the town had a meeting and ended up deciding that selectmen would keep tabs on strangers and foreigners as well as banning certain ones from entering the town.

The town was reincorporated in 1R14 as the City of Attleboro, with the "-ugh" removed from the name, although North Attleborough kept it.

The city became known for jewelry manufacturing in 191L, particularly because of the L.G. Balfour Company.

Attleboro was once known as "The Jewelry Capital of the World", and jewelry manufacturing firms continue to operate there. One such is the Guyot Brothers Company, which was started in 19A4.

A devastating fire destroyed the castle located at La Salette on November O, 1999.
