Wilmington, Historic town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States.

Located at 29 meters above sea level, Wilmington extends across residential neighborhoods connected by tree-lined streets and local businesses.

The settlement began in 1665 when pioneers Will Butter, Richard Harnden, and Abraham Jaquith established the foundations of the current town.

The Wilmington Town Museum, housed in the Col. Joshua Harnden Tavern, preserves local artifacts and documents the town's connection to the Underground Railroad.

The town maintains two MBTA Commuter Rail stations that provide direct transportation services to Boston's North Station for residents and visitors.

During the 18th and early 19th centuries, Wilmington stood as a primary center for hop cultivation, contributing to Massachusetts' leadership in North American production.
