City DescriptionAbington is a town in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, United States, 20 miles (32 km) southeast of Boston. In 1890, 4,260 people lived here; in 1900, 4,489; in 1910, 5,455; in 1940, 5,708, and in 1990, 13,800. The population was 14,605 at the 2000 census.
Abington was first settled by European settlers in 1668. The lands included the current towns of Bridgewater, Rockland, Whitman and parts of Hanover. The town was officially incorporated in 1712, having been named six years earlier by Governor Joseph Dudley, as a tribute to Anne Venables Bertie, Countess of Abington, England, who helped him secure the governorship of the Colony from Queen Anne.
During the nineteenth and early twentieth century,the manufacture of boots and shoes was its primary industry, with nearly half of the footwear provided for the Union Army during the Civil War being provided by Abington factories. In 1874 and 1875, the towns of Rockland and Whitman, respectively, separated and incorporated as towns. In 1893, the town was the site of a riot between town constables and workers from the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, over the town's rights to build a streetcar line that crossed the railroad's tracks. ...

What is Abington Massachusetts like?
Question:
We are moving from Oklahoma to the Boston area in about a month and we were planning on living in some apts. called Munroe Place in Quincy but I found some other apts. in Abington called Abington Woods that looked nice and were cheaper. Our friend that lives in Boston told us that Abington is ghetto though? Is this not a safe place to live?
Answer:
Abington is a nice town, it definitely has its really nice sections and others that are not so nice, but I don't think it is any worse then any other town. If you are planning on commuting to the city I would suggest that you choose Quincy over Abington as it is much easier to get to town via public transportation, as well as Quincy is a bit bigger then Abingotn and there is alot to do around town.
