Bolton, MA - Worcester County Helpful Links Town Profile Useful Phone Numbers
Bolton is a residential and agricultural community on the east slope of the Nashua River Valley on an historic east-west corridor. With many hills but few streams for power, it developed as an agricultural community. Rich forests and lime deposits also supported limestone quarries and kilns which once produced potash, lime and brick products. It was settled by Europeans in 1675 who built prosperous farms for a population that increased slowly after King Philip’s wars. By the 1800's, the economy added orchards and dairy farming. Much of its rural heritage is preserved in its current form as a residential suburb for nearby industrial communities and an exurb of Greater Boston.
