Medford: Rum, Ships, and the Mystic River
Medford's shipyards along the Mystic River built some of the fastest clipper ships in the 1850s, and the city's distilleries produced Medford Rum, one of the most widely traded spirits in colonial New England. Both industries are long gone, but the Mystic River still defines the city's geography, flowing through the center before joining the harbor in Everett and Charlestown. The river path and parkland along its banks provide one of the few continuous green corridors in the inner suburbs.
Tufts University's main campus covers the hillside between Medford and Somerville, and the university is the largest private employer in the area. Medford Square, at the confluence of several main roads, has a small commercial district that serves the surrounding residential neighborhoods. The city's housing ranges from Victorian-era houses near the center to mid-century subdivisions in the western sections closer to Winchester and Arlington.
The Middlesex Fells Reservation extends into Medford's western edge, providing hiking trails and the Wright's Tower overlook. I-93 runs through the city, and the Wellington station on the Orange Line sits just across the Malden line, giving Medford residents direct subway access to downtown Boston.
The Mystic Lakes, Upper and Lower, sit on the western edge of Medford near the Winchester border. The lakes are reservoirs in the MWRA system and provide a scenic backdrop for the surrounding neighborhoods. Medford operates under a city form of government with a mayor and city council. The city's proximity to I-93, the Orange Line, and the new Green Line Extension station makes it accessible from multiple directions.
