Marlborough, Industrial city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States
Located 27 miles west of Boston, Marlborough spans 22 square miles with the Assabet River crossing its northwest section and three lakes within its boundaries.
Founded in 1657 by Edmund Rice and incorporated in 1660, Marlborough evolved from Whipsuferadge Plantation and received its name from Marlborough, England.
The Peter Rice Homestead stands as a preservation site that displays architectural elements and living conditions from Marlborough's early settlement period.
Manufacturing remains the primary employer in Marlborough, with industries focusing on computers, electronic equipment, chemicals, shoes, and metal goods production.
The Native American settlement of Okammakamefit merged with Marlborough in 1718, expanding both its territory and historical importance in Massachusetts.
