History

Finally, in 1652, roughly a dozen families from Cambridge, Massachusetts and Charlestown Village, later Woburn, Massachusetts had begun to occupy Shawshin as well. Governor Thomas Dudley were granted land along the Concord River in the wilderness which was called Shawshin by the local Native Americans. The town was incorporated as Billerica in 1655, on the same day as nearby Chelmsford, Massachusetts and Groton, Massachusetts The oldest remaining homestead in the town is the Manning Manse, built in 1696, and later the residence of William Manning (1747–1814), the author of "The Key of Libberty," a critique of Federalist policies. The population was 38,981 at the 2000 census.

Billerica's prehistoric history, represented by a Native American burial site, dates to circa 1000 B.C. In the early 1630s a Praying Indian village named Shawsheen was at the current site of Billerica.
