The Dedham Country and Polo Club origin dates back to 1887, when George Nickerson hosted a gathering with William F. Weld, Frederic J. Stimson, Samuel D. Warren, and Herbert Maynard. Looking over the host’s sprawling property in Dedham, the group decided it was the perfect place to play polo. It was a novel idea, as few in New England had seen or played polo at that time. In August of that year, the Dedham Polo Club was officially formed with each member contributing an initiation fee of $86.14.
