Marlborough is a MetroWest city built on shoemaking, and at the time of the Civil War it was said to be the fourth-largest shoe manufacturer in the nation. Today it is an I-495 business hub where tech firms settled on former apple orchards in the 1980s. Locals also know it for the Labor Day Parade, which the city bills as the largest in New England.
Thirteen Sudbury residents petitioned the Massachusetts Bay Colony in May 1656 to start a new plantation to the west, and Marlborough became a town in 1660 and a city in 1890. The Peter Rice Homestead on Elm Street dates to 1688. French-Canadian shoe workers left their mark in place names like French Hill and Versailles Street, and I-495 brought a new wave of industry after the 1960s. A working city with a walkable Main Street, a large office and industrial base on the west side, and plenty of lakes and conservation land. Brazilian, Greek and Thai businesses sit alongside old New England pubs, and summer brings Thursday concerts on Union Common.
The civic heart around Main Street and City Hall, with homes in and around the district and new mixed-use buildings such as Exchange Place at 57 Main Street and a 67-unit, 7-story project at 163-175 Main Street. Walkable to the library, breweries and restaurants. ( source )
A historic neighborhood named for the French-Canadian families who came to work in the shoe factories.
