Medford, Massachusetts, is a city located to the northwest of the state capital of Boston. Nestled in Middlesex County along the Mystic River, Medford is known for being home to Tufts University.

Taking a trip back into history, Medford was initially settled as part of Charlestown in 1630 and originally called 'Mistick.' It was not until years later that it took on the name 'Meadford,' then shortened to Medford for the final naming in 1754.
