UXBRIDGE - Old Uxbridge ! - once a part of Mother Mendon, but for 181 years a town itself, yields to no community in its allegiance to American ideals and institutions: a town which every native born mentions with pride as his birthplace, a town which every citizen calls " HOME !" and which those who have left for other fields remember with the kindliest recollections. Such was the Uxbridge of old: such is the Uxbridge of to-day. No community has more local pride, and none is more Democratic in its ideals and customs. Recognizing all races of people, all religious creeds and all political faiths, it aims to make no distinction and to recognize no class. Represented by its citizens in every struggle involving the destinies of the Republic, it has been no less loyal in times of peace. The rocky, yet fertile, soil has yielded its increase to the industry of the farmer and the wheels of the mill have revolved since the early days of woolen manufacture in the United States. Its municipal enterprises have been built up by the untiring efforts of its people, and the administrators of town government have always given their best service to the community. In the halls of legislation, on the platform, in the pulpit - Uxbridge has always been ably represented; while those engaged in the professions and in business pursuits have added to the honor of the town. A patriotic, sober, industrious and intelligent people in the past and a patriotic, sober, industrious and intelligent people to-day. Such is Uxbridge.
