About Northborough

Northborough is a Worcester County community with roots in Nipmuc land and early New England settlement. Today it functions as a suburban town between Worcester and MetroWest, with the Northborough-Southborough school system, local youth sports, older roads, and newer subdivisions all part of the mix. The town is home to several public elementary schools and has a strong residential feel. Northborough feels settled and family-oriented, with historic New England bones underneath a very practical central Massachusetts commuter pattern.
