Welcome to Waltham!

Waltham is a city on the Charles River with a population of about 58000, about 10 miles west of Boston. It was formed in 1738 when it separated from Watertown. The mayor is Jeannette McCarthy. The Waltham Watch Factory, founded in the 1850's, pioneered the mass production of watches and that's why Waltham is sometimes called "Watch City". The city was named after Waltham, England. It is considered part of the Greater Boston conurbation but still retains its own unique character amongst Boston's outer suburbs.

Some of the city's top choices for visitors include:
