==History== [[File:Royalston Cemetery.jpg|thumb|Newton Cemetery, one of several Royalston cemeteries β this one is located near the trailhead to Royalston Falls.|214x214px]] [[File:Royalston Historic District.jpg|thumb|Royalston Historic District]] Royalston is a small town in the North [[Quabbin Reservoir|Quabbin]] area of northwestern-central Massachusetts. It was named after [[Isaac Royall]], a slaveholder and businessperson from [[Medford, Massachusetts]] who founded the town in a land deal in 1765.<ref name="CaswellHistory" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=3112|title=Profile for Royalston, Massachusetts|publisher=[[ePodunk]]|access-date=May 18, 2010}}</ref> Most of the town's land is forest and wetlands, and there are several reservations and wildlife management areas. Two reservations are the Tully Lake flood protection dam area in the very southwestern part of the town, and the Royalston Falls reservation in the northern section. The largest population center in the town is the village of South Royalston in the southeastern corner of the town.
