Southborough, Massachusetts was originally settled in 1660, earlier than many adjacent towns today. The city was incorporated in 1727. In the early 1800s, the area had a predominantly agrarian economy, with farming serving as the backbone of local livelihoods. The town's rolling hills and fertile land made it well-suited for livestock grazing and crop cultivation.

 

Southborough had an early manufacturing presence, particularly in mill-based industries. One significant example was the Cordaville Manufacturing Company, established in the 1850s. This company initially produced cotton fabric, including rough textiles used on Southern plantations, but later shifted to woolen blankets for Northern troops during the Civil War.

 

The city experienced growth during the high-tech boom of the 1970s, leading to the establishment of several new companies. Presently, the city is home to businesses involved in advanced communications and monitoring, biotech, and high-tech product manufacturing. The Southborough Economic Development Committee meets regularly to assist the town with creating and executing economic development initiatives and marketing opportunities to enhance or expand economic development.
