West Bridgewater was first settled in 1651 as a part of Bridgewater, Massachusetts. The area was known as the First Parish of Bridgewater (or colloquially the "West Parish" of the broader "Olde Bridgewater" territory). The First Parish of Bridgewater officially incorporated as the separate town of West Bridgewater on February 16, 1822.
The town became the second of three communities to separate from Bridgewater (after North Bridgewater, now Brockton, and before East Bridgewater) over a span of three years. The town, like many in the area, had both agrarian and industrial roots; the Town River provided water power for milling and irrigation for farming.
The town is home to the Keith House (1662), the oldest standing parsonage in the U.S. West Bridgewater is also believed to be the site of the first industrial park in the U.S., now the site of the Town Park. The original Ames Shovel Works was located in the Town Park. Today, the town is mostly residential.
