History
Wellesley was originally part of Dedham, Massachusetts, and was subsequently a part of Needham, Massachusetts called West Needham, Massachusetts. It was officially incorporated as a town on April 6, 1881 and is named after its famous women's college, Wellesley College. The college's name is from Horatio Hollis Hunnewell's estate, named for his wife's maiden name of Welles. The town was at one time connected to the Charles River by a private canal.
Into the twentieth century, Jews and other minorities were informally blocked from living in certain parts of town. Certain groups such as Italians congregated in seperate neighborhoods.
Wellesley was home to US District Court Judge Arthur Garrity, who in 1974 ordered the integration of Boston public schools. This led to racial unrest and violence in the city of Boston as well as the picketing of Garrity's Wellesley home.
Local Interest and Culture
The town is informally divided into several sections or neighborhoods, e.g. , Wellesley Square, Wellesley Hills, Wellesley Farms, Wellesley Fells, Wellesley Lower Falls.
Wellesley residents receive all major services from their town government, with the exception of actual residential trash pick-up. Residents of Wellesley cart their own refuse to a town-operated multi-use waste recycling site, where items are sorted by type, recyclability and potential reuse. Old books and magazines are available for town residents to take, which have their own shelving section. The program has received international press and is available for tours through Wellesley Town Hall. Wellesley opened its new Town Library building in 2003, which is part of the Minuteman Library System.
In addition to Wellesley College, Wellesley is also home to Babson College and Dana Hall, a preparatory school for girls. While independent, Dana Hall was at one time considered a feeder school to Wellesley College. Wellesley Public Schools are normally among the top scorers for the state's MCAS testing. It should also be stated that while Babson College is often considered to be in Wellesley, it is technically in Babson Park and has its own zip code (02457).
