Acton: Minutemen and the Route 2 Corridor
Acton played a role in the opening day of the American Revolution: Captain Isaac Davis and his company of Minutemen marched from Acton to Concord's North Bridge on April 19, 1775, and Davis was the first officer killed in the fight. A memorial on the town common commemorates his death. Acton sits along Route 2 in Middlesex County, about 25 miles west of Boston, in the zone where suburban development meets the more rural landscape of the outer communities.
West Acton, South Acton, and Acton Center each have their own small commercial clusters. The South Acton commuter rail station provides service on the Fitchburg Line to North Station. The town's population grew significantly during the suburban expansion of the 1980s and 1990s, and the school system attracts families. A notable Indian-American community has established businesses and cultural institutions in the area.
The Acton Arboretum provides walking trails and open meadows near the town center. Great Hill Conservation Area and several smaller properties maintained by the town's conservation commission provide additional green space. Acton operates under an open town meeting form of government.
