In 1634, the land north of the Mystic River became the private plantation of former Governor Matthew Cradock; across the river was Ten Hills Farm, which belonged to John Winthrop, Governor of the Massachusetts Bay colony. Medford is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts County, Massachusetts, in the United States, on the Mystic River, just a few miles north of Boston, Massachusetts In the United States Census, 2000 census, Medford's population was 55,765. The name may have come from a description of the "meadow by the ford (river) in the Mystic River, or from two locations that Cradock may have been familiar with in England: the hamlet of Mayford or Metford in Staffordshire near Caverswall, or from the parish of Maidford or Medford (now Towcester, Northamptonshire). In 1674, a Board of Selectmen was elected, in 1684, the colonial legislature granted the ability to raise money independently, and in 1689, a representative to the legislature was chosen. Until 1656, all of northern Medford was owned by Cradock his heirs, or Edward Collins.
