 
Abington is a small community in the South Shore area. The population
of the town is around 15,000. Abington is primarily a residential
community, although its roots were in manufacturing and agriculture
(especially the shoe industry.) Residents are proud of the parks
and recreation facilities, which have produced several fine
athletes. The town enjoys a fine school system and full-time
fire and police departments. Town facilities include a public
library and municipal golf course. There are also several active
civic organizations. Annual celebrations include everything
from an enthusiastic St. Patrick’s Day parade, to huge
4th of July celebration attracting thousands from the South
Shore. Abington is a stop on the MBTA’s newly reactivated
South Shore commuter rail line as well. Recently the community
has grown as a result of the reopening of the Old Colony Railroad,
which connects the town to Boston by rail. At the same time,
the town keeps its feet planted firmly on the ground in a desire
to maintain the high quality of life that makes Abington a special
place to live.
