Littleton

Littleton is a unique industrial town located on the western edge of suburban Boston. It was first settled in 1686 and officially incorporated by the Massachusetts General Court on November 2, 1714. The town was also the site of the sixth Praying Indian village established by John Eliot, known as Nashoba Plantation, situated between Lake Nagog and Fort Pond.

Littleton has a rich history as a farming community, renowned for its apple orchards and food and dairy farms. Many of these farms are still in operation today. Currently, Littleton has a population of just under 10,000 residents and retains its small-town New England charm, featuring well-preserved architecture and ample open space. The town boasts over 2,000 acres of conservation land for hiking and exploration, and its parks, playgrounds, and lakes provide opportunities for both passive and active recreation for all ages.

Situated at the junction of Routes 495 and 2, Littleton offers residents quick and easy access to Boston and the wider New England area. Additionally, it is home to an MBTA Commuter Rail stop, allowing travelers to reach Boston’s North Station in just an hour. Due to its advantageous geographic location and business-friendly environment, many companies have chosen to relocate to Littleton.
