Aberjona River, Brook in Winchester, Massachusetts
The Aberjona River extends 9.3 miles through the northwestern suburbs of Boston, flowing from Reading through Woburn and Winchester to the Mystic Lakes.
During the mid-19th century, industrial activities from tanneries in Woburn and Winchester contributed to substantial water quality degradation in the Aberjona River.
The name Aberjona originates from the Natick Native American language, indicating a place where waterways meet or converge.
The river forms part of the Mystic River watershed, covering 27.5 square miles and supporting approximately half a million Massachusetts residents.
The river gained national attention through the book 'A Civil Action', which documented environmental concerns related to industrial contamination in the water system.
