Located in Essex County in northern Massachusetts, the Town of Andover is rich in both history and culture. It was incorporated in 1646 and named after the town in England from where many of its original settlers hailed.

The song "America" was written here in 1831 by Samuel Francis Smith.

From the quaint historic village of BallardVale to the many beautiful churches and elegant garden pathways, there are many places in which to find culture, community and peaceful repose.
