About an hour out from Boston, in Middlesex County, is the suburban town of Boxborough. You may also see it spelled out as “Boxboro,” since government officials have adopted this spelling for its roadway signs and official documents. With its close proximity to Boston’s trendy 5-star restaurants, boutique shopping destinations, and American history artifacts, Boxborough is a great place to call home. Steele Farm is a favored spot for locals because of its breathtaking vistas, hills for sledding, and dog-friendly walking trails.
Boxborough was first inhabited by the Nipmuc and Pennacook tribes. In the 18th century, the land was then settled by farmers seeking fertile land to grow their crops. Today, farming and agriculture are still very much celebrated – every September residents gather at the harvest fair to revel the town’s legacy.
Commuting is easy for residents, thanks to I-495 and Route 111. Students in the area are serviced by the Acton-Boxborough Regional School District.
