Wheelockville is a part of Uxbridge, MA. It is on the east side of Uxbridge. I'm not sure of the exact boundary areas. The Wheelock Family owned a mill called the Stanley Woolen Mill. There was a school called the Wheelockville School which has since been torn down, however, the area where the school was is now called the Wheelockville Playground.

Hi All: I have a topographical map of Uxbridge, and Wheelockville appears to have the boundary from Hecla Street from Rte 16 south which turns into Old Elmdale Road and into Centerville. The boundary probably contiues on Rte 16 going toward Mendon, crossing into Henry Street then south along Blackstone Street, which also goes through what is known as Centerville, down to Rte 122 from Uxbridge to Millville, into Blackstone then on to Woonsocket, RI. Wheelockville may also take in the area across the road on Rte 16 where the Stanley Mill is, Behind the mill it's mostly marsh and swamp land. Alison

For those more interested in Wheelockville, and the Wheelock family: You can see a genealogy of the Wheelock family at the URL listed below. Benjamin Wheelock (1678 - 1746) was one of the founders of Mendon. His name appears on the founders monument in the center of town. His grandson, Lieutenant Simeon Wheelock (1741 - 1787), lived in Uxbridge when it split from Mendon, and is the ancestor of most of the Wheelocks in Uxbridge. His house still stands in the center of town, and is in the national register of historic buildings. Simeon's great-grandson, Arthur Wheelock (1851 - 1927), was the founder of the Stanley Woolen Mill, which employed many people in and around Wheelockville. The mill still stands on the Blackstone River, though in disrepair. Arthur's grandson, Walter Tobey Wheelock (1923-1979) wrote a genealogy of the Wheelock family of Uxbridge: "The Wheelock Family in America, 1637-1969", privately published.
