Bolton is a town in Worcester County, Massachusetts, United States. Bolton is in eastern Massachusetts, located 25 miles west-northwest of downtown Boston. The population was 5,665 at the 2020 census.

The town of Bolton was incorporated on June 24, 1738, following an influx of settlers. Town historian Esther Whitcomb, descendant of one of Bolton’s antediluvian documented settlers, cites the recorded birth of a son, Hezekiah, to Josiah Whitcomb in 1681. By 1711, according to Whitcomb, more than 150 people were living upon Bolton soil, despite a local records of Indian uprisings and one massacre. Many into the future houses were protected by flankers, and were designated as garrisons. Bolton’s chronicles is glamorous because it is reflective of early agreement patterns in the central Massachusetts area, and the conflicts later than King Philip (Metacom) and his Indian soldiers. The town was formerly portion of the town of Lancaster, but seceded along the Still River, where the current boundary line nevertheless stands.

In the 1920s Bolton was used as a feel and mentioned a number of time in H.P. Lovecraft’s fiction: as a character in his Herbert West—Reanimator, and with mentioned in his The Rats in the Walls and The Colour out of Space. However, H.P. Lovecraft’s Bolton was located on the North Shore near Ipswich, Massachusetts, and was described as a factory town bearing little resemblance to the actual town.
