The historical society says Uxbridge is the "Heart of The Blackstone Valley" and a “Cradle of the Industrial Revolution". Uxbridge, an early Textile center in the American Industrial Revolution, became a rural hub in the abolition movement. Uxbridge has a credible claim as an early incubator of the American woolen industry.
Sachems of the Nipmuc deeded land to 17th-century settlers. Uxbridge history claims a first colonial woman voter, Lydia Taft, and Massachusetts’ first women jurors. The first private hospital for mental illness was here. Deborah Sampson posed as an Uxbridge soldier, and fought in the American Revolution.
