Welcome to Boxford!

Brief History
Boxford was originally part of Rowley when it was settled by 1646. Boxford was officially incorporated in 1685, when about forty families lived there. Farming was the primary occupation of the first  settlers, although there were some craftsmen as well.

The original structure of Boxford's First Church was built in 1701 in East Boxford Village. As the population of West Boxford grew, the west section of town became precinct 2 in 1735. Town meetings then swapped between East and West parishes. The first West Boxford church building was constructed in 1774. The town's largest industry --- a match factory located on Lawrence Road --- opened its doors just after the end of the American Civil War, and operated from 1866 to 1905.
