The Town of Tyngsborough is a small residential community located in the northwest section of Middlesex County. Composed of 17.86 square miles of land and surface water, bordering the towns of Dunstable, Groton, Westford, Chelmsford, Dracut, the City of Lowell, as well as the State of New Hampshire, and divided by the Merrimack River, Tyngsborough is dotted with numerous streams, lakes and great ponds. Long recognized as the 'gateway' to the White Mountains and located only thirty minutes from Boston along the Route 3 corridor, Tyngsborough enjoys a strategic position in the Merrimack Valley. During the past three years Tyngsborough has experienced a tremendous burst in residential construction but has retained the charm of a small rural community
