Needham, Massachusetts, located in Norfolk County, was first settled in 1680 and officially incorporated in 1711. Originally part of the Dedham Grant, Needham was named after the village of Needham Market in Suffolk, England, a neighbor of the English town of Dedham.
Conveniently located at Routes 128 (95) and 135, Needham is home to Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, chartered in 1997. In the Needham Public School system, there are five elementary schools (Broadmeadow, Eliot, Hillside, Mitchell, and Newman, a converted junior high school), one middle school (Pollard), and one high school, Needham High School. There are also several private schools, including Saint Joseph’s and Saint Sebastian’s.
In addition to Dedham and Wellesley, Needham is bordered by the town of Dover and the city of Newton and the West Roxbury section of Boston.
