About North Andover

Located twenty-four miles northwest of Boston, North Andover is emerging as a highly sought-after residential community. This historic town has grown considerably in the past few years but the townspeople pride themselves on maintaining a rural flavor.

North Andover is located in Essex County. The town lies along the banks of the Merrimack River and settlement of the town began in 1640 becoming incorporated as Andover in 1646. The community was split into the North Parish, now North Andover, and South Parish, now Andover, in 1709. North Andover was incorporated as a separate entity in 1855.

Lake Cochickewick, site of the original settlement of the Andovers and presently the town’s water supply is the focal point of North Andover. In the winter the two mile long lake is frequented by skaters and summer months find anglers of all ages along its shores. Great Pond Road travels close to the shoreline and is the setting for elegant estate-like homes, some of which have been passed from generation to generation of Old North Andover families.

Although North Andover contains several industrial parks, the town has retained a rural character and contains over 3,000 acres of preserved open space. Lawrence Municipal Airport is located within the town. North Andover is a thriving community of about 27,000 with an excellent school system, efficient services and a strong commitment to its citizens.

North Andover offers opportunity for all ages to participate and volunteer. North Andover was selected by Money Magazine in 2003 as the “Fifth Best Community to live in on the East Coast”.
