Andover

Andover has served as a manufacturing centre in Massachusetts’s Merrimack Valley since the 19th century. The Shawsheen River flows through town, and its water once powered mills that helped drive local industrial growth before the river joins the Merrimack. Brick former mill buildings at Shawsheen Village recall that era. Phillips Academy, founded in 1778, has given Andover a longstanding educational identity, with a campus that remains an important part of the community. Historic civic buildings, residential streets and river corridors place the town firmly in the fabric of northeastern Massachusetts.
