Woburn, Massachusetts Woburn, Massachusetts Woburn ( ) is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 38,120 at the 2010 census. Woburn is located north of Boston, Massachusetts. Woburn was first settled in 1640 near Horn Pond, a primary source of the Mystic River, and was officially incorporated in 1642. At that time the area included present day towns of Woburn, Winchester, Burlington, and parts of Stoneham and Wilmington. In 1740 Wilmington separated from Woburn. In 1799 Burlington separated from Woburn; in 1850 Winchester did so, too. Woburn got its name from Woburn, Bedfordshire. Woburn played host to the
Stanbridgeford railway station private residence and the platform area has been incorporated into the garden. In 1991, the A505 Leighton Southern Bypass opened and reused a section of the railway alignment from a point to the west of the former station to a point to the north-west of Billington. The line to the east is also severed by the road. The signal box which controlled access to Tottenhoe Lime siding was moved in January 1969 to the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway. What remains of the line to the east has become part of the Sewell greenaway as far as French's Avenue in Dunstable.
