History

In 1638, Massachusetts Bay Governor John Winthrop and Lt. Wishing to replace the foreign-sounding Shawshin with a name more familiar, the settlers chose the name Billerica, likely due to the fact that the majority of the families living in the settlement were originally from the town of Billericay in Essex, England. The town now celebrates "Yankee Doodle Weekend" every September. In the early 1630s a Praying Indian village named Shawsheen was at the current site of Billerica. The song "Yankee Doodle" supposedly became a term of national pride instead of an insult due to this event .
