Incorporated in 1808, West Boylston thrived due to such industries as textiles. West Boylston's growth and prosperity was halted, however, when the state determined that West Boylston would be included among a number of neighboring towns for the sight of the Wachusett Reservoir, a new source of drinking water for the city of Boston. Over 2,200 acres of land in West Boylston were flooded for the Reservoir, including the center of the town. Although many of the buildings were relocated away from the flooded areas, much of the old town center now lays at the bottom of the Reservoir.
