A small town 45 minutes south of Boston. The town got it's name for having a large amount of lakes located within such a small town. There are 5 lakes in Lakeville, with Assawompset Pond and Long Pond being the most well known. Lakeville shares Apponequet High School with the neighboring towns of Freetown and Assonet. Many people that are not from these towns wrongly think that Apponequet is a town itself.
(Non Lakeville, MA resident): So you said you're from Apponequet?
(Lakeville, MA resident): I'm from Lakeville! The school is named Apponequet. Not the town!!!
