Colleges and Universities in Woburn, MA-- Career Training and Education

Published: November, 2010

Woburn, Massachusetts, is located at the junction of Routes 128 and 93, 10 miles north of Boston at the head of the Mystic River Valley. Settled in 1640, Woburn was incorporated as a township in 1642. During the colonial era, Woburn encompassed the now-separated communities of Winchester, Wilmington, and Burlington.

By the early 18th century, Woburn had become an agricultural community that expanded into leather tanning and shoemaking, a trade that boomed during the Civil War, drawing immigrants from Ireland and Canada. The influx of workers changed Woburn's demographic base to include the Irish, Italian, English, German, French, and French Canadians.

Today's Woburn has attracted development in the commercial and technical sectors prevalent in contemporary Massachusetts. Lytron, a giant in the thermodynamics liquid cooling systems industry, has opened its factory and corporate offices in Woburn.

The 2000 Census reported 39,684 residents in Woburn. The reported Woburn median income is $54,897, well above the national average of $46,242. Top Woburn area employers include:
  • New England Rehabilitation Hospital
  • Winchester Hospital
  • National Leisure Group
  • BostonWorks

This Massachusetts community combines office parks and manufacturing centers with residential neighborhoods and abundant wooded conservation areas. Forest Park, Horn Pond Reservation, and Shaker Glen are popular recreational wooded sanctuaries.
