Tewksbury, Massachusetts is a suburban community located on the uplands between the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. It is situated on slightly rolling lowland terrain with large areas of bog and swamp throughout town.

Tewksbury was gradually settled from Billerica during the early decades of the 18th century. The original economic base depended on farming and grazing with lumbering as a secondary activity, and a saw mill was established on Trull Brook about 1736.

By the early 19th century Tewksbury supported some light industry, with the Lee family tannery in continuous operation through the turn of the century. The primarily agricultural economy of the town shifted in the direction of commercial businesses because of its proximity to Lowell.

Residents of Tewksbury developed greenhouses and market gardens between 1890 and 1915 as the town's dominant business, while many hothouses raised carnations and other flowers commercially for city markets. In fact, for many years Tewksbury was locally known as "The Carnation Town". Primarily residential in nature today, Tewksbury is a growing commuter town with easy access to the economic, cultural and educational resources of Greater Boston and Lowell.
