History

Holliston is the only town in Middlesex County that borders both Norfolk and Worcester Counties.

In "Holliston" by Images of America and the Holliston Historical Society, it is written: An article in a local newspaper in 1894 heralded the charms of Holliston as the quintessential New England village, which, the story said, sprang into existence solely due to the talent of its people. The feature story of 1894 said:

"Many cities have sprung into existence because of their advantageous situations. Competition from overseas factories is largely to blame for the loss of the industry. Perhaps this is so, for there was no great moment in history to mark the founding of this town. Holliston's Mudville neighborhood claims to be the location of the 1888 Ernest Lawrence Thayer poem, "Casey at the Bat," and maintains an ongoing rivalry with Stockton, California California, which makes the same claim regarding the poem's setting.
