Founded in 1630 as an agricultural community, Medford expanded rapidly with the construction of the Middlesex Canal and later the railroad, which spurred industrial growth. By the late 1800s, it had grown into a bustling city with nearly 20,000 residents.

 

Medford was known for its shipbuilding industry in the 18th and 19th centuries, especially for clipper ships vital to trade. As shipyards prospered, industries like brickmaking, rum distilling, and manufacturing also developed.

 

Today, Medford, Massachusetts, boasts a diverse and evolving economic landscape, with several prominent businesses in healthcare and education establishing significant operations in the town. Tufts University adds a lot to the area in both employment and arts and events. The City of Medford Boards & Commissions has high community and volunteer participation.
