The City of Acton
        Acton Massachusetts is a City with it's own culture, it's own personality, and now, it's own guardians.



        Acton is a suburban community located 25 miles northwest of Boston. Although Acton's population has almost tripled in the last three decades, the city has retained much of its rural New England character, as evidenced by the traditional town center and green, with fine examples of historic architecture, and the stone walls and tree-lined country roads. Noone is quite sure how this could be done, with such an industrial transformation changing almost every other surrounding town.

        However, Acton is well prepared for the 21st century. Acton affords a full range of services to its residents and businesses, including an very active city government, top-notch libraries, a nationally accredited police department, a full-time fire department, and local and regional school systems that are ranked among the top in the state. Commerce continues to thrive and grow in Acton due in large part to its prime location along Routes 2, 27 and 111, the commuter train stop, and its proximity to Route 495. A wide range of retail stores and services, a community theater, various types of commercial recreation and several museums, can also be found in Acton.

        All in all, Acton is in the eye of the hurricane of change. No one knows how long it will be able to continue to hold this title...
