Once known as the “Jewelry Capital of the World,” Attleboro is among the oldest cities in the US, right up there with Boston and Providence, with colonists settling the area in the 1630s. Attleboro even has a local legend that George Washington himself went through the area and stayed at one of the historic houses. The 1910s were responsible for its jewelry-related fame, as Attleboro became a hotspot of export for fine jewelry products, but nowadays, Attleboro is mostly a residential area with a business sector relating to nearby Providence. Attleboro is also home to several notable people, such as retired Vice Admiral Paul G. Gaffney and actor Thomas Hobson.
