Lincoln
www.walthamchamber.com www.state.ma.us/cc/lincoln.html Lincoln is a picturesque rural hamlet thirteen miles northwest of Boston. This community of slightly more than 7,000 is set in an area of open country and landed estates created in the last century. Incorporated in 1754, Lincoln once bore the nickname "Niptown," because it was made up of pieces of land nipped from adjacent towns. Bostonians recognized early that Lincoln was an attractive place for country estates, many of which are now preserved as schools, museums, public buildings, and parks. Intent upon maintaining the country air of the town and its surroundings, LincolnÕs citizens have created a Conservation Commission. The Commission and the Lincoln Land Conservation Trust have acquired significant parcels of land to protect it from development. The result is 7,000 acres of woodland and agricultural areas for wildlife preservation and hiking trails. The West Suburban area encompasses several additional communities including Newton, Lexington, Watertown, and Belmont. From the Mass. Turnpike to Route 128, Route 495, and Route 2, the West Suburban Area provides quality living, working, learning, entertainment, and recreation in the Boston Hub, just west of the city. |
