== History ==
Canton was officially incorporated on February 23, 1797 from the town of Stoughton, Massachusetts. The name "Canton" was suggested by Elijah Dunbar and comes from the early belief that Canton, China was on the complete opposite side of the earth (antipodal).〔(Canton (Massachusetts, United States) – Britannica Online Encyclopedia ) (Retrieved on April 21, 2009)〕 In addition to being a prominent Canton citizen, Elijah Dunbar was the first President of the Stoughton Musical Society from 1786 to 1808. This is now the oldest choral society in the United States ().
Paul Revere built the nation's first (Copper Rolling Mill ) in Canton in 1801. His poem entitled ("Canton Dale" ) expresses his affection for the town. Canton is the birthplace of the Rising Sun Stove Polish Company, founded by Elijah Morse, a wealthy merchant and creator of the pot-belly stove.
