History

The constant in these times of change and up to the present day has been the public spirited efforts of all to continue to maintain the innate physical charm of the town. The population was 20,500 at the United States Census, 2000 census.

The land on which Winchester now sits was purchased from Native Americans by representatives of the settlement of Charlestown in 1639, and the area was first settled in 1640. Upon the signature of then Governor Briggs, the town of Winchester was officially incorporated on April 30, 1850. Prior to incorporation, the Middlesex Canal, linking the Merrimack River to Boston, was completed through then Waterfield. It flourished from 1803–36, until the Lowell Line and Lowell Railroad completed a line which neatly bisected the town and provided it with two stations.
