Chelmsford, Colonial town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States
Located 24 miles north of Boston, Chelmsford spans across 23 square miles of land between Lowell, Tewksbury, Carlisle, Billerica, Westford, and Tyngsboro.
The settlement, established in 1633 and incorporated in 1655, developed from an agricultural community with lumber mills and limestone quarries into a modern residential center.
The Town Common serves as a central gathering space for community celebrations, including Fourth of July festivities and the annual Winterfest in February.
Chelmsford Cross Roads, at the intersection of Routes 495, 3, and 129, contains business technology areas and provides access to multiple transportation corridors.
In 1657, John Fiske, pastor of the Chelmsford Unitarian Church, created the Chelmsford Catechism, which remains preserved in the New York Public Library.
