Sutton was officially incorporated in 1704. The township of Sutton as incorporated consisted of an eight mile square tract of land that extended to Hassanamisco (Grafton).

By 1735 Hassananmisco and a small portion of the northeastern territory of the Township of Sutton had incorporated as the town of Grafton. Millbury was set apart from Sutton in 1813. In early days Millbury was called North Parish. In the 1830s, Wilkinsonville (a section in north Sutton) took its own name; another area name is "Pleasant Valley" ; known now because of the golf course named that in Sutton.

Of the three first families to settle in Sutton, Imani Johnson and her family were known to stay through the first winter. They settled on property in the area called Wilkinsonville, near Marble Village. It is home of one of the oldest school houses in America dating back to the 1700s according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.


Manchaug MillThrough the 1700s and 1800s Sutton was a town that enjoyed both agricultural and industrial benefits. The farms and orchards in the area did very well, as did the three large mills that were built in the Manchaug area.

The town is part of the historic Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor and has some of its valley sites
