The population was 38,325 according to the [[2020 United States census]], in nearly 15,000 households.<ref>{{cite web|title=Census - Geography Profile: Shrewsbury town, Worcester County, Massachusetts |url=https://data.census.gov/profile/Shrewsbury_town,_Worcester_County,_Massachusetts?g=060XX00US2502761800|access-date=September 5, 2023}}</ref> Incorporated in 1727, Shrewsbury prospered in the 19th century due to its proximity to [[Worcester, Massachusetts|Worcester]], and from visitors to [[Lake Quinsigamond]]. The town is governed under the New England [[representative town meeting]] system, headed by the Town Manager and five-member elected [[Select Board]]. ==History== The Town of Shrewsbury, named for [[Shrewsbury]], [[England]], is a community with an uneven and hilly terrain cut by a number of minor streams providing several small water power sites. Grants of land were made in what would eventually be the town beginning in 1664, with the {{convert|3200|acre|km2|adj=on}} grant called [[Haynes Farm]] as the largest. In 1664 Native American leader, [[Peter Jethro]], and other Nipmuc Indians deeded land around [[Lake Quinsigamond]] to settlers in the area.<ref name=Barry>Barry, William, ''A History of Framingham, Massachusetts'' (Boston: James Munroe and Company, 1847), 19-20</ref> Settlers came primarily from [[Sudbury, Massachusetts|Sudbury]] and [[Marlborough, Massachusetts|Marlborough]], and the first permanent settler was [[Gersham Wheelock]] in 1720. As a town, Shrewsbury was first settled in 1722 and officially incorporated in 1727. Townspeople created an agricultural economy with apple orchards, and by 1750, there were two stores and four taverns as well as several small industries in operation. The rapid fall of prices for agricultural goods, the shortage of hard currency, and the general economic depression following the [[American Revolutionary War|Revolutionary War]] produced disastrous conditions for colonists. [[Shays' Rebellion]] in 1786 sought to close the courts to prevent debt collections and the foreclosure of mortgages. Shrewsbury became a staging area for the rebellion and the encampment of the more than 400 insurgents, before the march on the [[Worcester Court House]]. A leather industry began in 1786 in Shrewsbury, and town farmers developed large cattle herds to support the manufacture of boots and shoes. This was followed by the establishment of gunsmithing operations in 1797, which produced rifles, shotguns and pistols and eventually cutlery. [[Luther Goddard (watchmaker)|Luther Goddard]] began in 1809 by making brass clocks and then established a small watch factory employing a few skilled Swiss and English watchmakers. Lumbering created sawmills, and they in turn drew chair and cabinet makers, plow and wagon builders. The development of streetcar routes in the 19th century propelled the growth of single-family housing in town. A summer resort population on [[Lake Quinsigamond]] became consumers of the market garden produce grown by town farmers. As Shrewsbury's industry was killed by the lack of large waterpower sites and the tardy arrival of the railroad, its role as a suburb of Worcester grew more important. The town's population doubled from 1915 to 1940 as continued [[streetcar suburb]] growth brought more modern settlers into the community. Other modern developments included an increased number of lakeside cottages, ethnic clubs and recreational areas on the lake. The [[1953 Worcester tornado]] came through the Shrewsbury area, killing twelve people and causing extensive damage. Since the late 20th century, Shrewsbury and neighboring [[Westborough, Massachusetts|Westborough]] have seen a large influx of immigration from [[South Asia]], particularly [[India]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.telegram.com/story/news/local/east-valley/2017/12/10/indian-community-at-home-in-central-mass/16844401007/ | title=Indian community at home in Central Mass }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.boston.com/uncategorized/noprimarytagmatch/2012/10/25/indian-culture-in-shrewsbury-and-westborough-expands/ | title=Indian culture in Shrewsbury and Westborough expands }}</ref> ==Geography== Shrewsbury is a suburb of Worcester.
