North Attleboro is an industrial town on the Rhode Island border. In pre-colonial times, it was the site of the Bay Path, a major Native American trail to Narragansett Bay, the Seekonk River and Boston. North Attleborough borders Cumberland and is 15 minutes from Providence and 40 minutes from Boston. Interstates 95 and 295 intersect just over the Attleboro line, and both run through the town.

There are many ponds and lakes, including Greenwood Lake (site of a fish hatchery) and Falls Pond, among others.
