Waltham, Massachusetts is a historic city in Middlesex County located about 10 miles west of Boston. It was settled in 1634 by Europeans and incorporated as a town in 1738. Waltham is known as “watch city” because it was home to the Waltham Watch Company which was the first to make watches on an assembly line. Waltham has extensive ties to the labor movement and was a strong contributor to the American Industrial Revolution. Nowadays it is known as a center of research and technology as it is home to Brandeis University, Bently University, and Raytheon Technologies. Waltham’s close proximity to Boston, home to higher education, and many job opportunities make it a desirable place to live.
