Norton is a town in Bristol County, Massachusetts, contains the village of Norton Center. Norton was first settled in 1669. Then called North Taunton for its location on the northern border of Taunton, Massachusetts, the town’s name was shortened to Norton upon its official establishment on March 17, 1710. Parts of Norton were originally established as Easton on December 21, 1725, and as Mansfield on April 26, 1770.
Metacomet, the Wampanoag Indian sachem also known as “King Phillip”, is said to have hidden in a cave here near the end of King Philip’s War before meeting his death in Hockomock Swamp. According to one source, “Every Norton school child has been entertained with the legend of King Phillip’s Cave.”[3]
