NORTHBOROUGH, MA — First settled by the Nipmuc people, Northborough grew out of Westborough and was incorporated in 1766.

How Hub Saves Northborough Customers Money
Consolidating under one Hub contract also tends to cost less than piecing together separate vendors for guards, patrol, and investigative work: one onboarding process instead of several, no coverage gaps that force you to pay a second vendor’s overtime rate to fill them, and one predictable monthly invoice instead of surprise call-out fees. That matters in Northborough, where historic town-center buildings sit close to residential neighborhoods — Hub can bundle coverage across both under a single route instead of billing each separately.
Northborough’s own history includes some genuine local celebrities: first settled by the Nipmuc people, Northborough grew out of Westborough and was incorporated in 1766. The town’s Old Town Hall is recognized by the National Park Service for having one of the longest roof spans of any known French Mansard-style building in the country, and Northborough claims two notable native sons — birth-control-pill pioneer Gregory Pincus and former Detroit Tigers pitcher Mark Fidrych. Hub’s licensed guards support both Northborough’s historic town center and its residential neighborhoods.
