諾斯伯勒(英語:Northborough,又寫作Northboro),是位於美國馬薩諸塞州伍斯特縣的一個小鎮。 雖然該鎮的名稱在官方文件中寫作Northborough, 但非官方的名稱Northboro至今仍在使用。2010年美國人口普查時人口為14,155人。
歷史[編輯]
該地區的官方名稱Northborough由尼普穆克人所決定。[1] 1656年5月14日,歐洲移民像向馬薩諸塞灣殖民地的馬薩諸塞州議會請求重新建立薩德伯里地區的種植園。[2] 1766年1月24日,諾斯伯勒被建立在斯特伯魯的附近。1775年8月23日,該地區發展成為了小鎮並在1807年6月20日鄰近的馬爾伯勒被分出一塊地合併到諾斯伯勒。[3][4]
1746年,在鎮子的領導人被稱作鎮長後該鎮的第一座教堂建立完成 。第一位鎮長是約翰·馬丁(Reverend John Martyn)。
1775年,諾斯伯勒的北部地區被併入威斯特泊勒,就像58年前威斯特泊勒從馬爾伯勒分出那樣。但是,這兩個小鎮共用了教堂一段時間。

Private schools include The Cornerstone Academy, and St. Bernadette's. In 2002 the Northborough Middle School was renamed after superintendent of schools, Robert E. Melican. All of the public schools in Northborough are part of the Northborough-Southborough School District. The public high school serving Northborough is Algonquin Regional High School, shared with Southborough. The mascot for Northborough-Southborough students is the Tomahawk. Algonquin's main sports rivals are the Westborough Rangers. Debates have erupted over whether Northborough and Southborough should have separate high schools; however, citizens of both Northborough and Southborough successfully fought to keep the school regionalized. Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School is an alternate choice for Northborough students, though the majority of students attend Algonquin. Private schools in the area include Fay School and St. Mark's School in Southborough, St. John's High School in Shrewsbury, and Bancroft School, Worcester Academy and Notre Dame Academy in Worcester.
