Conveniently located just eight miles northwest of Boston, the Town of
Winchester has developed from its seventeenth century colonial village
beginnings into a thriving residential community noted for its fine public
school system, beautiful homes and easy access to Boston.
Settled in the early 1600's by citizens from Charlestown, the village was
first known as Waterfield and became part of Woburn, the neighboring city
to the North.
Originally an agricultural community with upland farms on the western side
of town near Lexington, the tiny village of 200 settlers evolved into a
bustling mill town, with the advent of the Middlesex Canal and the Boston
and Lowell Railroad (now Boston and Maine commuter rail) in the early
1800's. Grist mills, tanneries and small factories along the banks of the
Aberjona River created a lively industrial village.
The Village declared its independence from Woburn in 1850, and the town
fathers honored a local gentleman, Colonel William P. Winchester, by giving
the new town his name.
The late 1800's saw the development of Winchester as an affluent suburban
community, as wealthy businessmen from Boston moved out to "the country"
and built substantial homes. The town's character is still largely
reflected in the beautiful houses built just before and after the turn of
the century.
The village atmosphere remains, however, fueled by the unusual civic spirit
of Winchester's residents. The citizens of the town take a deep interest
in the management of the town's affairs and in its continued improvement
and beautification. Local organizations produce annual events which have
become traditions and part of the Winchester way of life.
Eastern Massachusetts, bordered by Woburn on the north, Stoneham and Medford on
the east and southeast, Arlington on the south, and Lexington on the west. The
Aberjona River, Mystic Lake, and several ponds are located in Winchester.
Winchester is 8 miles north of Boston, 9 miles north of Waltham, 18 miles south
of Lowell, and 225 miles from New York City.
