Welcome to Lincoln

Nestled west of Boston, the town of Lincoln, MA, is a hidden gem with a rich history and a strong sense of place.
 
Often referred to as "Niptown" due to its origins as a rural farming community composed of land parcels taken from neighboring towns, Lincoln has retained its unique character and identity in the face of urban development.
 
In this guide, we'll explore the history, culture, and attractions that make Lincoln an exceptional place to live and visit.
 

A Brief History

Incorporation in 1754

Lincoln was officially incorporated as a town in 1754, and it stands out as the only town in America named after Lincoln, England.
 
Contrary to what you might expect, it wasn't named after prominent historical figures like Revolutionary War Major General Benjamin Lincoln or President Abraham Lincoln, as neither of them had gained fame at the time of the town's founding.
 

Paul Revere's Capture

One of the most notable events in Lincoln's history is the capture of Paul Revere by British soldiers on the night of April 18, 1775.
 
This event foreshadowed the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, and it was in Lincoln that Minutemen took their stand to reinforce the colonists protecting American stores of ammunition and arms in Concord.
 
The site of Revere's capture and the ensuing battles are commemorated by Minute Man National Historical Park, which is a must-visit for history enthusiasts.
 

The Modern Lincoln

Lincoln is not just a town steeped in history; it's also a vibrant and welcoming community. Here's what you can expect when living in or visiting Lincoln today:

Lincoln maintains a sparse suburban feel, making it an ideal place for those who appreciate a slower pace of life and a close-knit community. The town's rural character and commitment to preserving open spaces contribute to its charm.
 

2. Educational and Cultural Hub

Several of the country estates that once graced Lincoln's landscape have been repurposed into schools, museums, town buildings, or parks. This rich cultural heritage is evident throughout the town, and residents can enjoy easy access to educational and artistic institutions.
 

3. Natural Beauty

Lincoln's picturesque landscapes and green spaces, including parks, are a testament to the town's dedication to preserving nature. If you're a nature lover, you'll find plenty of outdoor activities and beautiful scenery to enjoy.
 

4. Family-Friendly

With highly-rated public schools, a family-oriented atmosphere, and a focus on community, Lincoln is a great place to raise a family.
 

5. Liberal Community

Lincoln residents tend to have liberal views, fostering an open and inclusive environment for all who call it home.
 

6. Proximity to Boston

Despite its small-town feel, Lincoln is conveniently close to the city of Boston, allowing residents to enjoy the amenities and opportunities of a major urban center.
