Nail company has historic ties to early America
MANSFIELD, Massachusetts (WBZ) Did you know one of the oldest nail companies around can be found in Mansfield?
“Tremont Nail is a 200-plus year old nail manufacturing company that started down in Wareham, Massachusetts,” Eric DeLong, the President of Tremont Nail and Acorn Manufacturing, told WBZ-TV.
That’s before the British burned it down in The War of 1812.
But the Brits couldn’t stop the Tremont Nail Company. They just took their nails and equipment to Mansfield and built a new factory out of nails where they made more nails!
“We are the last sole surviving full production square cut nail company in the world. The machines we use today were originally built in the mid 1800’s,” DeLong explained.

Article to reinvigorate Wareham Village held off for further study
Wicked Local
WAREHAM – Those awaiting a chance to weigh in on a zoning proposal to reinvigorate downtown Wareham Village will have to wait a little longer.
The Wareham Village 1: Reinvestment Subdistrict was on the warrant for the spring town meeting on May 8 as article 16 but the Wareham Redevelopment Authority voted Thursday to refer it to the Planning Board for further study, entailing another public hearing. The WRA first requested the article’s consideration.
The vote effectively pushes off consideration of the article to fall town meeting.
It’s been about 10 months since the zone change was first introduced, but COVID has helped push off its consideration at town meetings in the interim.
