Woburn was first settled in 1640 near Horn Pond, a main source of the Mystic River, and was incorporated in 1642. It then included today's Woburn, Winchester and Burlington and parts of Stoneham and Wilmington, and Wilmington separated in 1730, Burlington in 1799 and Winchester in 1850. The town was named for Woburn in Bedfordshire, England. On November 22, 1642, it hosted what is described as the first religious ordination in the Americas, when the Rev. Thomas Carter was installed before leading New England ministers including John Cotton and Richard Mather.
Captain Edward Johnson, co-founder of the church and town, is regarded as the father of Woburn. He was the first town clerk, represented the town in the General Court, made the first map of Massachusetts and wrote the first history of the colony. The first town meeting was held on April 13, 1644, choosing as selectmen Johnson, Edward Convers, John Mousall, William Learned, Ezekiel Richardson, Samuel Richardson and James Thompson. Deacon Convers, another founder, built the town's first house and first mill. Woburn became a tanning center, beginning with Gershom Flagg's tannery in 1668. The Middlesex Canal opened through the town in 1803, the Boston and Lowell Railroad in 1835, and the Woburn Sentinel began publishing in 1839. The Massachusetts Rifle Association, called the country's oldest active gun club, moved to Woburn in 1876, the public library opened in 1879, and Woburn became a city on June 12, 1888. Route 128 opened in 1951. Sources Wikipedia: Woburn, Massachusetts
