Attleboro is a city in Bristol County, Massachusetts and is immediately north of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Attleboro was incorporated from part of Rehoboth in 1694 as the Town of Attleborough. It was re-incorporated in 1914 as the City of Attleboro. Attleboro included the town of North Attleborough until 1887, and Cumberland, Rhode Island until 1747. When the city re-incorporated in 1914, the final "ugh" was removed from the name; North Attleborough kept it.
During the colonial period, Nathaniel Woodcock lived in North Attleboro. During the Native American insurgency Woodcock's son was murdered and his head was placed on a pole in his front yard. The house where Woodcock lived is now a historical monument.
