Hopkinton, one of Massachusetts’ largest towns geographically, remains one of the state’s fastest growing communities. This record-breaking growth has been influenced by Hopkinton’s proximity to Worcester, Boston, and Providence, Rhode Island, and its easy accessibility to Routes 495, 9, and the Massachusetts Turnpike. The rural beauty and friendly small-town character of Hopkinton have been preserved as the town’s industrial base has changed from agriculture to biomedical and technology. Best known as the starting place for the Boston Marathon, Hopkinton is located twenty-six miles west of downtown Boston.
