Northborough is a Route 9 and Route 20 town between Worcester and Marlborough, known for its orchards and its fall Applefest. Tougas Family Farm on Ball Street draws pickers from across the region, and Mount Pisgah, the highest point in town at 715 feet, anchors a trail system of about 20 miles.
Northborough was first part of Marlborough, then Westborough. It became a district in 1766 and a full town with its own representation in the General Court in 1775. The Northborough Minutemen marched out on April 19, 1775, and the Marquis de Lafayette passed through town on his 1825 tour. The town bought the White Cliffs, the former Daniel Wesson mansion at 167 Main Street, in September 2017 to save it from demolition. A town of 15,741 people (2020 census) with a historic Main Street center, farm stands and orchards on the west side, and shopping and dining along Route 9 and Route 20. Fall weekends mean apple picking, cider doughnuts, and the Applefest parade.
