Malden, Massachusetts boasts a rich history spanning more than three centuries, from its origins as a small settlement called Mystic Side to the modern, energetic city of today.

Residents state proudly that Malden has always been at the heart of things; the city has borne writers and industrialists, revolutionaries and governors, actors and artists. From Elisha Converse to John Volpe, from Walter Brennan to Louise Stokes to Frank Stella, Maldonians have participated in every facet of American culture.

Even now, Malden is at the heart of an innovative New England economy. Just ten minutes from downtown Boston, Malden is situated in close proximity to metropolitan Boston’s major arteries and interstates. Residents enjoy direct access to one of the world’s busiest international airports, and the city is serviced by both commuter rail and the MBTA Orange Line.

Some of America’s best universities are within a stone’s throw, as are many of the world’s best high-tech and medical research facilities. The city is only minutes away from some of New England’s great beaches. Amidst all this activity, Malden has tenaciously preserved its colonial heritage and neighborly small-town traditions.

Malden enjoys an active business community, a downtown in the process of rejuvenation, a fine system of parks and playgrounds and a variety of social, cultural and fraternal organizations. To loyal residents and newcomers alike, Malden offers the best of both worlds; ready availability to the cultural nexus of the big city and the familiar feel of a small town.

http://www.northboromarealestate.com Tour Northborough, MA neighborhoods, condominium developments, subdivisions, schools, landmarks, recreational areas, and town offices.

Northborough, Massachusetts was originally part of the Town of Marlborough, then Westborough. It became a separate town with the right of representation at the Great and General Court of Boston in 1775.

Early civic activity in Northborough revolved around its churches, then known as “meeting houses”. Northborough’s first meeting house was built on land given by Captain James Eager in 1776; the First Congregational Unitarian Church stands in its place today. The legally elected officers of the town were the church “tithing men” and town ministers were the arbiters of both town and family life. Though Northborough has grown and changed considerably in the nearly 250 years since its founding, a significant historical district at the town center provides a living reminder of the community’s colonial past.

Today, Northborough operates under its own home rule charter. The town is governed by a five-member select board and the town meeting membership of registered voters. Though primarily residential in nature today, Northborough also hosts a burgeoning research and development-oriented industrial park. For other town tours visit http://www.virtualhomes.com .
