Berkley MA Community Profile & History
Berkley, Massachusetts is still rural in character, and has retained much of its 18th century landscape. Berkley was a well known Indian settlement area because of the rich shellfish and water fowl populations to be found there. The lush forests and plentiful marine life drew the first European settlers to Berkey in 1638.
The burgeoning settlement at Berkley was abandoned by residents because of its vulnerability to Indian or French attack at the outbreak of King Philip's War, when townspeople sought shelter and safety in Taunton. The war delayed development of the community, as did the lack of water power to fuel the industrial mills of Colonial times.
However, there were sufficient clay deposits to stimulate a small pottery industry for a time. Still a small, rural community, Berkley is well loved by its residents for its peacefulness and its reminders of the past, among which is the Berkley-Dighton Bridge, possibly the oldest swing span bridge in the state.
