Woburn Toyota has been a part of Woburn for almost 50 years! We love it here and thought we would let you know a little about the city we call home.
Settled in 1640, Woburn is one of the oldest and most historic communities in New England. It is nearly the head of the Mystic River Valley halfway between Lowell and Boston. Traveling in Woburn couldn’t be easier. There are 2 interstate highways, and public transportation via bus, train, and commuter rail.
It is a community with a long tradition of civic participation, volunteerism, and a passion for sports & recreation.
First settled in 1640 and incorporated as a distinct township in 1642, Colonial Woburn once encompassed the modern Massachusetts towns of Wilmington, Burlington, and Winchester, but these communities eventually broke off into separate townships. Woburn is now a small city comprised of about 38,000 residents.
The Woburn of today is a mix of quiet residential neighborhoods, vibrant office and industrial parks, and wooded conservation areas, such as the Horn Pond Reservation, Forest Park, and Shaker Glen. As a result of its long history, virtually all the historic architectural styles typical of New England are found in Woburn. These include the Baldwin Mansion, built in 1661 by Deacon Henry Baldwin and altered to its present Federal-era appearance by his great-grandson, Colonel Loammi Baldwin in 1803. The Woburn Public Library was also the first public library designed by the great Victorian-era architect H.H. Richardson, his first work after completion of his masterful Trinity Church in Boston.
We hope that gives you some insight to the wonderful city of Woburn!
