Welcome to the Town of East Brookfield's Official Website

The intent of this web site is to provide our residents, schools, businesses and visitors a ready reference source of information about our town, our town government, points of interests and activities.

East Brookfield is a relatively small community located on Route 9, approximately 15 miles west of Worcester and 35 miles east of Springfield. The center of town is built on picturesque Lake Lashaway. Incorporated in 1920, East Brookfield is nicknamed "The Baby Town of the Commonwealth”, as it is Massachusetts' youngest community. Primarily a bedroom community today, East Brookfield offers a friendly, safe, close-knit environment with strong family and civic values. Largely residential, our town is made up mainly of New England style, single-family homes - some with historic significance - and boasts a diverse collection of small businesses and family restaurants.

Please take a moment to tour this web site to gain a full understanding of our history and culture. Make sure you visit this site frequently as it contains valuable information on all meetings, services and activities. The site is updated regularly.
