Welcome to Westwood
Quality and luxury rolled into a pleasant package
Settled in 1641 and the last town to officially separate from Dedham in 1897, Westwood became its own independent town. Residents wished to separate themselves from Dedham's overly involved political aspects and thus focused their effort on showing their progression while preserving the land around them to form their town. Today, Westwood is a quiet town with a charming sense of community. Boasting quality education, Westwood is known for its top-scoring students in national tests.
