The Town of Norwood site contains a history page that details the
increasing animosity that existed between the northern and southern
parts of Dedham, which led to South Dedham (and a small portion of
Walpole) becoming the Town of Norwood in 1872. At their first Town
Meeting, Norwood graciously adopted a resolution thanking the
inhabitants of Dedham and Walpole for their assistance in the
formation of Norwood.
