Tewksbury, MA
Tewksbury is a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. Its population was 26,342 as of the 2020 United States Census.
Tewksbury was first settled in 1637 and was officially incorporated on December 17, 1734, from Billerica. The act that made this was the act of ANNO Regni Regis GEORGII Secundi Octavo. It states residents were not close enough to the middle of town so they broke apart. There is no evidence that the town was named after Tewkesbury, England. Still, Tewksbury, Massachusetts, and Tewkesbury, England remained connected through a local committee called the Twinning Committee.
One of the oldest sections of town is the area around the Shawsheen River. This is where the Shawshin tribe settled, allowing them access to a food source through fishing in the river.
Tewksbury was also known for a historic visit by President Andrew Jackson, who stopped at the local watering hole, Brown's Tavern.
On July 24, 1857, a powerful tornado swept through Tewksbury. The storm began at Round Pond as a small water spout and traveled west and then southeast to the Shawsheen River. It dissipated at North Wilmington. Several cornfields and orchards were severely damaged, with one residence having its roof blown off. The tornado was powerful enough to flatten barns and sheds, pull up large trees by their roots, and sweep away and kill a team of oxen. Due to the sparse population, and homes located above the valley floor, no one was killed, and only a few people were injured.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 21.1 square miles (55 km2), of which 20.7 square miles (54 km2) is land and 0.3 square miles (0.78 km2), or 1.61%, is water.
