History

Stump Pond formed when Stump Brook—also known as Herring Brook or Swan Lake^[4] —was dammed for water power.^[5] Stump Brook is part of both the part of the Satucket and Taunton River watersheds.^[6] Before the dam, it was connected to Monponsett Pond.

It was last sold to the city of Pembroke by the "Cranberry Conservation Corps" in April 2012 for $1.3 million as part of a larger, 268.49 acre piece of land.^[7]
