Waltham, Industrial city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States.
Located along the Charles River, Waltham spans across an area with numerous parks, historic buildings, and two prominent universities: Brandeis and Bentley.
The city emerged as a manufacturing center in 1813 when the Boston Manufacturing Company established the first integrated textile mill in the United States.
The Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation preserves the industrial heritage through exhibits of machinery, watches, and textile manufacturing equipment.
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority provides regular commuter rail service between Waltham Station and Boston's North Station throughout the week.
The Waltham Watch Company revolutionized timekeeping by developing the first mass-production system for manufacturing precision timepieces in 1854.
