Location/Size
|
Lake Singletary is located in Massachusetts bordering the towns of
Millbury and Sutton. The greater part of the 330 acre lake is located in
Sutton with the main inlet (Welsh Pond) located at West Sutton Road, while
the remaining part of the lake is located in Millbury with its outlet
(Singletary Stream) located at Harris Avenue, which flows south-easterly
through Millbury before joining the Blackstone River. There are two
islands on the lake, “Loon Island” near the western end, and "Fire
Island” nears the eastern shore. The lake sits 559 feet above sea level
with a maximum depth of 39 feet. The 6.0 mile long shoreline supports 163
homes with a public boat ramp in Millbury and a town beach (Marion’s Camp)
in Sutton.

History
|
Lake Singletary played an important role throughout American history.
During the Industrial Revolution, Lake Singletary (then called Crooked
Pond) supplied power to the mills built along the Singletary Stream
outlet, formerly called Mill Brook.
In 1720 John Singletary purchased land along the Singletary Stream from
Ebenezer Daggett. Shortly after John established the first gristmill in
Millbury and later added a sawmill. John and his son Amos kept these
mills in operation for many years. In fact the gristmill (known today
as S & D Spinning Mill), is still in operation, making it one of the
oldest continuously operating mills in the United States. Rumor has it
that the original water turbine is still in the basement of the mill.
Throughout the 1700’s and 1800’s several more mills were erected along
the Singletary Stream, manufacturing goods such as flour, cotton, paper,
guns, scythes, horseshoes, and many other farm equipment items. Lake
Singletary was also a major source of ice for the Worcester County
area when Warren A. Harris built and operated his 2,500 ton Ice House.
