Southborough, Historic town in Worcester County, Massachusetts
Southborough spans across 15.7 square miles, with 14.1 square miles of land and 1.5 square miles of water bodies including reservoirs and rock formations.
The settlement originated in 1660 as 'Stony Brook' and remained a farming community until manufacturing industries developed along the local rivers in the 1800s.
The town celebrates Heritage Day each Columbus Day with a parade, community activities, pumpkin carving contests, and a traditional run/walk through local streets.
The Southborough station on MBTA Commuter Rail connects residents to major cities, while Interstate 495 and Massachusetts Turnpike provide direct road access.
Three distinct villages form Southborough: Cordaville, known for its Civil War blanket production, Fayville, marked by its dam, and Southville.
