Town of Wrentham - Government

Government

Wrentham is governed by a five member Board of Selectmen. Each member is elected. The term of each member is three years and the terms are staggered. The Board of Selectmen is the governing body as well as the Awarding and Licensing Authority of the Town. It is their responsibility for calling all Annual and Special Town Meetings and putting together the Town Meeting Warrants.

Larger issues are decided via a traditional New England Open Town Meeting. The Moderator presides over these meetings at which Articles are presented to voters. The Finance Committee contributes to the decision-making process by analyzing the impacts of Articles and offering their recommendations for or against as they deem appropriate.

Wrentham is also home to the District Court of Western Norfolk County. Wrentham District Court, as it is more commonly known, is located at 60 East Street at the far end of the common in the center of town. The main phone number at the Courthouse is 508-384-3106.
