A brief history of Medford


From a student posting on a shared UMass Journalism blog;
Medford, MA
My town is a nine square mile plot of land known as Medford, Massachusetts. Settled in the 1600's, Medford is a place where history lurks in every corner. Paul Revere once road a horse through my town, the Isaac Royal House, a National Historic Landmark, resides in my town, "Jingle Bells," and "Over the River and Through the Woods," were written in and about Medford. Medford was also home to Amelia Earheart, and it's the place where New York City's Mayor, Michael Bloomberg grew up.
