Andover is home to Phillips Academy, founded in 1770, and the Addison Gallery of American Art on its campus. The town calls itself the "Home of America" because Samuel Francis Smith wrote the song America here in 1831. It also has more than 5,000 acres of public open space, including the Ward Reservation and Harold Parker State Forest.
Andover was settled in 1636 and incorporated in 1646, named after the English town many settlers came from. The region's first powder mill opened in 1775 to supply the Continental Army, and by 1835 the town had six mill districts. In 1854 voters split the town and the old North Parish became North Andover. In 1919 the American Woolen Company rebuilt Frye Village as the model mill village of Shawsheen. Andover mixes a walkable Main Street downtown with quiet residential streets, old mill villages and large tracts of conservation land. Many residents commute by I-93, I-495 or the MBTA Haverhill Line from Andover and Ballardvale stations.
