Northborough

Northborough is a town in Worcester County, Massachusetts, with residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and natural spaces. The community sits near tributaries of the Assabet River, creating varied terrain throughout the area.

The settlement began in 1656 as part of the Sudbury Plantation and became a town in 1775. This change happened during the American independence period when communities were reorganizing as formal towns.

The Northborough Free Library, established in 1868, functions as a central educational resource, receiving dedicated funding from the town's annual budget.

Access to local facilities is available through road networks throughout the area, with bus stops providing connections to neighboring communities. Visitors should be aware of winter weather, as harsh seasons can affect road conditions and travel times.

The former Town Hall has a notably large French Mansard roof section. This architectural feature is considered one of the most expansive ever documented in the United States.
