Since its incorporation in 1717 as the 100th town in
Massachusetts, Westborough has grown from a settlement of
orchards and dairies into a dynamic community with a healthy
mix of residences, wooded trails and industry.
At the intersection of the Mass Pike, Route 495 and Route
9, Westborough is an ideal location for business
headquarters. Spurred by the advent of the train in 1834,
Westborough has been home to diversified manufacturing,
ranging from sleighs, straw hats and boots in the past to
computer and telecommunications equipment today. Westborough
has also emerged as an important regional center for office
development, with 35 percent of its employment devoted to
the service sector. Westborough’s population of a little
more than 18,000 residents enjoys fine schools, extensive
public services for all ages, and active recreation programs
on its lakes, woodlands and playing fields. |
