[[Image:Edaville Sign.jpg|thumb|right|A sign for Edaville Railroad along Route 58]] '''Carver''' is a town in [[Plymouth County, Massachusetts]], United States. The population was 11,645 at the 2020 census.<ref name="Census 2020">{{cite web |url=https://data.census.gov/cedsci/profile?g=0600000US2502311665|title=Census - Geography Profile: Carver town, Massachusetts |publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]] |access-date=November 10, 2021}}</ref> It is named for [[John Carver (Mayflower passenger)|John Carver]], the first governor of the [[Plymouth Colony]]. The town features two popular tourist attractions: [[Edaville Railroad|Edaville USA]] theme park and [[King Richard's Faire]], the largest and longest-running [[renaissance fair]] in New England.

==History and overview== Archaeological research revealed 9,000 years of human habitation at the [[Annasnappet Pond Site]] in Carver, from 10,000 to 1,000 years ago. The site contained 100,000 stone flakes, 1,600 stone tools and a human burial.

Carver separated from [[Plympton, Massachusetts]], and was incorporated in 1790 because many residents lived too far away to attend church in Plympton. The town was named for John Carver, the first Governor of the Plymouth Colony. Initially agricultural, Carver was known for the [[iron ore]] from its swamp lands used to make cooking tools by the 1730s. The first iron works was "Pope's Point Furnace", built in 1732, which operated for a century by using the bogs and Sampson's Pond. Over the next 150 years, [[sheep shearing]] and lumber mills were important in Carver.<ref name="Master">{{cite web |url=http://www.carverma.org/documents_governing/masterplan/historical.pdf |title=Master Plan Section 5: Historical and Cultural Resources, p. 2 |access-date=November 14, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140502003956/http://www.carverma.org/documents_governing/masterplan/historical.pdf |archive-date=May 2, 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Most people at the time lived in the villages of South and North Carver and Wenham, later called East Carver. European settlers had also given the names "Colchester" and "Lakenham" to what is now North Carver, and settled in what was known as South Meadow. Each village supported at least one schoolhouse. As the market for iron ore declined in the latter part of the 19th century, Carver began [[cranberry]] farming as a new use for the town's swamp lands. Farmers began growing cranberries in the 1870s, and by 1900 it was Carver's farmers who raised a fifth of all cranberries grown in the United States. A railroad line connected Carver to [[New York City|New York]] and [[Boston]] in 1920, further establishing the town.<ref name="Master"/>

Money from the iron helped the community to grow, as evidenced by several mansions still in existence in the town. Also located in Carver is [[Savery's Avenue]], the first [[divided highway]] in America, which was opened to the public in 1860<ref>Henry S. Griffith, ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=44gNAQAAIAAJ&q=History+of+the+Town+of+Carver%2C+Massachusetts History of the Town of Carver, Massachusetts: Historical Review, 1637-1910]'', New Bedford, MA: E. Anthony & Sons, 1913.</ref> by [[William Savery]]. The trees between the roads and on the outside of them were to be left for "shade and ornament for man and beast". Both road beds were [[macadam]]ized in 1907. A portion of the expense was advanced by the daughters of the builder, Mrs. Mary P.S. Jowitt and Ms. H.D. Savery. By the 1940s the cranberry harvest was the largest in the world, and today it is still a major business in town. Because of the land taken for the bogs, however, growth is limited, giving the town a rural flavor it takes pride in.<ref name="carverma">{{cite web|url=http://www.carverma.org/history.htm|website=carverma.org|title=Town of Carver – History|access-date=October 25, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110930144654/http://www.carverma.org/history.htm|archive-date=September 30, 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2012, most cranberry bogs are being replanted in favor of a new hybrid cranberry crop.

Carver also has two notable tourist attractions. [[Edaville Railroad]] is a narrow-gauge railroad attraction which opened in 1949. It has long been a family tourist attraction in Southeastern Massachusetts, especially for its festival of lights around Christmastime. It has experienced a revival in recent years, after being sold in 1991 and nearly closing. The town is also the site of [[King Richard's Faire]], a re-creation of a 16th-century English fair which is open on weekends throughout September and October. It is [[New England]]'s largest [[Renaissance fair]].<ref name="patriot ledger">{{cite web |url=http://www.patriotledger.com/homepage/x804155684/Renaissance-Faire-brings-escape-from-21st-century |work=Patriot Ledger |access-date=August 10, 2009 |title=Renaissance Faire brings escape from 21st century |date=September 23, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609224026/https://www.patriotledger.com/homepage/x804155684/Renaissance-Faire-brings-escape-from-21st-century |archive-date=9 June 2012}}</ref>

The majority of them eventually drain into [[Buzzards Bay]], although some in the north of town lead to [[Cape Cod Bay]] or [[Narragansett Bay]].

A large cedar swamp occupies the geographic center of the town. The town is also the site of a campground, a sportsmen's club, and a small town park at the center of town.
