Located just 8 miles Northwest of Boston, the Town of Winchester has developed from a 17th century colonial village into a thriving residential community noted for its public school system, beautiful homes and easy access to the city. Originally an agricultural community with upland farms on the western side of town, the advent of the Middlesex Canal and the Boston and Lowell Railroad created a lively industrial village with grist mills, tanneries and small factories along the banks of the Aberjona River. The late 1800’s saw the development of Winchester as an affluent suburban community as wealthy businessmen from Boston moved out to "the country" and built substantial homes. The town’s character is still largely reflected in the beautiful houses built just before and after the turn of the century.
