In the early 1630s, Billerica was better known as Shawsheen. At the time, the village was named after the Shawsheen River as it belonged to a Praying Indian village. By the late 1630s, the Massachusetts Bay Governor was granted some land and brought in a dozen families to occupy the area, which is when Shawsheen became Billerica and its population quickly grew.
The Concord River and the Shawsheen River are still major waterways within Billerica. In its early beginnings, the rivers were vital to the growing town, serving as a place to fish and establish farmland. Today, the farmland is not as expansive as it once was: Instead, Billerica’s rivers are main points of interest to the locals and visitors.
Although a rich part of Billerica’s history, residing along rivers like the Shawsheen and Concord can be problematic because pests like ticks, mosquitos, rodents, and even termites become all too familiar to property owners in the area.
