About Town of Tyngsborough

Approx 44 miles northwest (71 km) from Boston, Tyngsborough is a progressive residential community of 12,500 residents. It is located in the Northwest section of Middlesex County,bordering the communities of Dunstable, Groton, Westford, Chelmsford, Dracut, Lowell, as well as the State of New Hampshire communities of Hudson, Pelham, and Nashua. The town has experienced a tremendous burst in residential construction in the last decade as part of Greater Boston while keeping its rural charm. Tyngsborough enjoys a strategic position in the Merrimack Valley between Lowell, MA and Nashua, NH. Tyngsborough is probably best known today for its green painted single-arched iron bridge over the Merrimack. Constructed in 1931 as a replacement for an earlier wooden planked structure, this bridge has become the town’s emblem and more practically, a major river crossing for residents of MA and NH alike. Tyngsborough, was once part of the original Dunstable, MA Township initially settled in 1661 by Colonel Jonathan Tyng named in honor of his mother Mrs. Edward Tyng, who emigrated from Bedfordshire, England. The town uses an Open Town Meeting model with a Board of Selectmen overseeing the operations and policy of the town. Reporting to the Board of Selectmen is the Town Administrator, Michael P. Gilleberto, who oversees the public employees and day-to-day operations of the town offices. On Facebook: www.facebook.com/TyngsboroughMA On Twitter: www.twitter.com/Tyngsboroughma
