Boston Golf Ball Factory

As part of the Stoneham 300th countdown festivities, we’ve started a random ‘random Stoneham Historical tidbit’ series. Let’s have some fun learning about the town’s history.

Enjoy!

Did you know that Maple Street once hosted a golf ball factory? The Boston Golf Ball Factory, contrary to its name, was in Stoneham until it closed in the late 1950s.

We’re more than just a shoe town. Stoneham has produced everything from pencil sharpeners, cardboard boxes and flavored cod liver oil to rubber buckets and patterned pressed concrete blocks.
