It also had extensive apple orchards. At one point, there were thirty cider mills in Boylston, but by 1880, only one remained. The town was home to 80 farms, ranging from thirty to 200 acres. The city's first minister was Ebenezer Morse.

West Boylston is an old part of the town. In 1794, a community of six hundred people was established on the present-day Common. Other adjoining corners were Sterling and Holden, and this small community petitioned the General Court for incorporation.
