Norfolk 3

Norfolk County, Massachusetts, is the only county in the USA in which four future presidents of the USA were born: the two Adams, Kennedy and George H. W. Bush. Counties do not have the same significance in New England as they do in other parts of the country; however, it does have a county seat, Dedham and has about 700,000 people.

Brookline, where Kennedy was born, rejected annexation by the City of Boston in the 19th Century and is an enclave of Norfolk County surrounded by other counties. This annexation battle is said by some historians to be the beginning of suburban culture in the USA. Interesting.

Norfolk 3

Norfolk county is not very remarkable. It has rather non-descript suburbs and bedroom communities and not much beyond that. The only things that come to mind are Gillette Stadium in Foxboro and the Tweeter Center (Great Woods) ampitheatre.
