Foxborough is a suburban town in Norfolk County, located about 25 miles southwest of Boston. Best known as the home of Gillette Stadium, where the New England Patriots and New England Revolution play, the town blends residential neighborhoods with its identity as a major sports and entertainment destination. Originally settled in 1704 and incorporated in 1778, Foxborough has grown from an agricultural community into a thriving town that balances small-town character with its high-profile stadium complex.
