Chelmsford, Massachusetts

Named after a town in England, and believed to be the only town of that name in the U.S., Chelmsford is a suburban industrial town located in the Merrimack Valley, 24 miles north of Boston and 40 miles northeast of Worcester. Today this suburban community is home to a population of over 33,800.

Chelmsford began as a community of agriculture and grazing, with dairying and orchards as specialties. There was some lumbering, and a series of small operations such as gristmills, lime quarries, and brick yards. Chelmsford is a suburban community, which offers country-like charm and atmosphere while providing access to modern infrastructure, with many freeways and highways linking it to Boston and Worcester.

It also offers abundant educational opportunities, with a wide selection of schools, both public and private and many places of further education freely available to the residents of Chelmsford. With Boston located so close, many students choose Boston as their place of education. There are also many of retail establishments and restaurants, where almost whatever you choose to purchase its obtainable.

Chelmsford is a mix of cultures, ethnicities and incomes. In recent years, buyers have flocked to Chelmsford to purchase a little piece of the country; and there have been several developments and new homes, especially in the very woodsy areas.
