Billerica

Chelmsford and Billerica were each incorporated about the same time, though a few days later.

Solomon Keyes, of Billerica, received two wounds, but fought on till a third shot struck him.

Billerica escaped harm, but Chelmsford was twice visited by hostile bands and several buildings were burned.

August 1, 1682, a hostile raid was made into Billerica and eight of the inhabitants were killed.

Tewksbury was incorporated in 1734, its territory before having been included in Billerica.
