Sherborn is one of the older towns in Middlesex county, and it forms a portion of its southern border. Originally the territory was much larger, but it was reduced by the formation of new towns. It is located about 20 miles WSW of Boston.

Land grants began as early as 1643, and at intervals for thirty years; but always subject to the right of the Indians (Nipmucks), who received payment and gave deeds for all the land included in the township.
