Chelmsford

Chelmsford sits between the Merrimack and Concord rivers in northeastern Massachusetts, where wooded neighborhoods and former farmland meet the urban fabric of the Merrimack Valley. Incorporated in 1655, the town developed independently of nearby Lowell, yet its history was closely tied to regional transport and industry. The Middlesex Canal, opened in 1803 to connect the Merrimack River with Boston Harbor, passed through Chelmsford; its route recalls the era before railways reshaped the valley. Chelmsford Center retains a traditional New England civic focus around its common.
