History

Upon the signature of then Governor Briggs, the town of Winchester was officially incorporated on April 30, 1850. The first church was built in 1840, the Post Office followed in 1841, and soon after incorporation town schools were started. The constant in these times of change and up to the present day has been the public spirited efforts of all to continue to maintain the innate physical charm of the town. The movement toward incorporation of what, by this time, was called South Woburn was likely precipitated by the rise of the Whig Party in Massachusetts.* The Whigs sought to split a new jurisdiction away from heavily Democratic Woburn and found enough supporters in the burgeoning village to organize a movement toward incorporation. It flourished from 1803–36, until the Lowell Line and Lowell Railroad completed a line which neatly bisected the town and provided it with two stations.
