It was made part of the Town of Abington in 1712. Finally, in 1875, the township of South Abington was incorporated. In 1886, the name was formally changed to Whitman. It was named for local resident, Augustus Whitman. When the town was incorporated, there was no public water system. Private wells were the norm. It was arranged to have water from Silver Lake, but funding could not be obtained. Whitman decided to turn over the franchise for the water to nearby Brockton with the provision that Whitman could have a special rate for its water. Public water was finally received in Whitman on 2 January 1905. Whitman supplied the timber for the frigate, U.S.S. Constitution, more commonly known as "Old Ironsides."
