U.S. 1 (the old Norfolk and Bristol Turnpike) and Route 1A (the old Lower Boston Post Road) pass through the area, which lies just north of the Rhode Island state line.
Lees Pond Park, off Route 1, attracts many local residents for activities such as fishing, basketball, baseball, and swimming in one of the city pools.
The South Attleboro Lions Club on Highland Avenue hosts the annual Lees Pond Festival.
[1][2] For several decades starting in the 1920s, South Attleboro was known for Wightman's Diner on Boston Post Road (aka Washington Street, or U.S. Route 1).
[4] South Attleboro is occasionally referenced in the animated series Family Guy, as being home of "Jack's Joke Shop".
