Billerica MA Community Profile & History
Billerica, Massachusetts is a growing industrial suburb in the Merrimack Valley region of the state. Located 20 miles northwest of Boston, Billerica has emerged as a center for commerce and high-tech industry in the region. With an expanding economic base, excellent schools, and a central location within easy reach of the coast, the mountains, and all of New England's major cities, the town offers an unmatched quality of life.
Once the site of an Indian praying village named Shawsheen, the community was first settled by Europeans in 1652, when a dozen families from Cambridge and Charlestown took up a land grant from Massachusetts Bay governor John Winthrop. The community was renamed upon its incorporation in 1665, its new designation likely derived from the town of Billericay, England, the birth home of many present settlers. While the town remained predominantly rural for the next two centuries, the furious pace of industrial growth in neighboring Lowell brought increased settlement throughout the 19th century. The oldest canal in the United States, the Middlesex Canal, flowed through the community between 1795 and 1852, when it was used to transport goods between Lowell and Boston, then two of the largest industrial cities in the nation. The community takes pride in its illustrious past, with an assortment of well-preserved historic sites including the remains of the Middlesex Canal; the Manning Manse, built in 1696; the Clara Sexton House, built early in the 18th century; Faulkner Mills, a historic textile mill first established in 1811; and the North Billerica Railroad Depot, built in about 1875.
Billerica prides itself on its successful school programs. The community's students perform well above national and state averages in SAT scores, SAT participation, reading skills and many other areas. Students have many opportunities to continue their education beyond high school at a variety of local colleges and universities, including the University of Massachusetts Lowell; Babson College and Wellesley University in Wellesley; Boston College, Northeastern University, Boston University and Emerson University in Boston; Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge; Tufts University in Medford; Brandeis University in Waltham; and dozens of others.
