WELLESLEY, MA



Wellesley is a town in Norfolk County, Massachusetts. The population was 26,613 at the 2000 census. It is best known as the home of Wellesley College and Babson College. It has the reputation of being one of the most affluent and prestigious suburbs of Boston, and it is always ranked in the top 5. According to Boston Magazine's yearly "Best Places To Live" Wellesley ranks first in the United States in percentage of adults who hold at least one college degree. Over 66% of the households have at least one individual holding an advanced degree, beyond a Bachelor's Degree.

The Town of Wellesley is a predominantly residential community, located approximately 13 miles west of Boston. Its geographic location and its visual characteristics make it a highly desirable suburb for people who work in Boston. Wellesley although a residential community, is also an employment center, having several attractive office parks located primarily on its eastern border.

The town designated Cottage Street and its nearby alleys as the historic district in its zoning plan. Most houses in this district were built around the 1860s and qualify as protected buildings certified by the town's historic commission.

The town is informally divided into several sections or neighborhoods:
  • Wellesley Square
  • Wellesley Hills
  • Wellesley Farms
  • Wellesley Fells
  • Wellesley Lower Falls
Wellesley Public Schools are normally among the top scorers for the state's MCAS testing. The Wellesley Elementary Schools are Fiske, Upham, Sprague, Schofield, Hunnewell, Hardy and Bates. The Middle, and High schools are called Wellesley Middle School, and Wellesley High School. In addition to Wellesley College, Wellesley is also home to the main campus of Massachusetts Bay Community College, Babson College, Dana Hall School, a preparatory school for girls and Tenacre Country Day School. While independent, Dana Hall was at one time considered a feeder school to Wellesley College.

Wellesley has had rail service to Boston since 1833. These days rail service is provided through Wellesley's participation in the MBTA, which offers a total of 17 weekday Commuter Rail trains inbound towards Boston & outbound towards Framingham & Worcester. Wellesley's stations are (east to west) Wellesley Farms, Wellesley Hills, and Wellesley Square.
