The following is in response to a letter that appeared in last week’s Canton Citizen. Dear Editor: Why does the town hate the Canton River? The official name of that body of water is the East Branch of the Neponset River. I have a copy of the earliest map of what is now Canton and […]
Editor’s note: The Canton River, also called the East Branch of the Neponset River, passes through downtown Canton and through the former Plymouth Rubber factory site.
