Groton (Massachusetts) Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States
About Groton (Massachusetts)
Groton is part of the greater Boston metropolitan area, but it is very much a small New England town. The town takes pride in the fact that a little over 40% of the land in town is protected by the town, state, or through private organizations & trusts, and is accessible to the public. Groton started with the trading post of John Tinker, who conducted business there with the Nashaway at the confluence of Nod Brook and the Nashua River. It incorporated as a town in 1655, and named for Groton in Suffolk, England. Called The Plantation of Groton, it included all of present-day Groton and Ayer, almost all of Pepperell and Shirley, large parts of Dunstable, Littleton, and Tyngsborough, plus smaller parts of Harvard and Westford in Massachusetts, as well as Nashua and Hollis, New Hampshire.
