Dedham

Dedham is a suburban Massachusetts town located in Norfolk County, and it is home to more than 23,000 residents. In 1796, when the courthouse was built there, the character of Dedham changed from that of a more agricultural community to that of a more industrial area because it drew in a larger amount of professionals who invested in development.
