The Town of Chelmsford is located in Middlesex County on the SW edge of Lowell off I-495 near Billerica State Forest and Great Brook Farm State Park. The community had a slow start since much of its present area was contained in a so-called Praying Town, established as a preserve for Christianized Indians in 1653. But fresh water fishing, access to abundant fish runs in Merrimack and Concord, and good agricultural lands along its rivers attracted residents and there was rapid growth in the community after the eighteenth century annexation of the Indian lands.
