Shrewsbury feels like it’s on top of the world. The elevation is only 1,762 feet but somehow feels a world away. Nestled into this special little place are treasures like Pierce’s Store and the Brown Bridge, which has the same designation as the Brooklyn Bridge. A new generation of local farms are sprouting in Shrewsbury’s hills with growing success, along with an array of unique business, like a racehorse rescue farm. One interesting thing about Shrewsbury is that they don’t have a zip code. Shrewsberries (yes, that’s what they call themselves) use the Cuttingsville zip code even though Cuttingsville is actually an unincorporated village within the town.

Demographic information can be used to create successful marketing campaigns, economic analysis, and government policies.
