Right on State 197 is the junction with a road (R), 1.1 w., on which is DUDLEY, 2.3 m. (town, alt. 453, pop. 4568, sett. 1714, incorp. 1732). Resident Indians gave four acres of land for the church, and in return special pews were reserved for them. Manufacturing began here in 1812, and has continued an important factor in town development.

Dudley is home to Nichols College and Stevens Linen Mill Complex. I frequently ride thru Dudley which has a pretty busy Main St area but for the most part it is very rural.
