Town of Northbridge Massachusetts

Northbridge was incorporated in 1772. The community has a rich manufacturing heritage. The Blackstone and Mumford Rivers run through the town which made it very important in the early American industrial revolution, due to the rivers and its location between Providence and Worcester. Numerous industrial developments were erected along the river banks, most notably the Whitin Machine Shop in Whitinsville. Today most of the mill buildings are no longer used to full capacity, however, they do offer valuable space to small businesses. Further, most of the town's architecture developed during the 1800's has been preserved and serves as a fascinating view into the past.
Northbridge is a growing Suburban Town which is made up of 5 Villages; Linwood, Riverdale, Rockdale, Northbridge and Whitinsville.
Northbridge is part of the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor Commission and is actively working with its neighboring communities to promote the region's special character and sense of history as it played a major role in early American industrial development due to its natural
resources and location to Worcester and Providence. Today the location of the Blackstone Valley makes it quite desirable as it has good highway and rail access to airports, ports and other transportation facilities in Worcester, Providence and Boston. The foremost goals of the town at present are: to strengthen the local economy through developing and reusing industrial areas as well as retaining existing businesses, and; to keep Northbridge as a desirable place to live through preserving and revitalizing the village centers, maintaining and expanding town services, and protecting natural resources.
It is located in southern Massachusetts, bordered by Grafton on the north, Upton and Mendon on the east, Uxbridge on the south, and Sutton on the west. Northbridge is 13 miles southeast of Worcester,and 38 miles southwest of Boston.
