Plainville was originally part of nearby Wrentham before breaking off to form its own town in April 1905. Comprised of just over 8,000 residents, Plainville is conveniently placed near the major arteries of Interstates 495 and 95, affording the serene charms of a small town with the top-notch attractions of two major cities. It borders the Massachusetts towns of Wrentham, Foxboro, Mansfield, and North Attleboro, as well as Cumberland, Rhode Island.
