All About Lunenburg, MA
All About Lunenburg, MALunenburg, MA might be a small town, but it’s been incorporated as a town for nearly fifty years longer than the US has been a country! It was first settled by Europeans in 1718 and incorporated a decade later, named after a title of King George II of Great Britain, who was also called the Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg. The town was raided during King George’s War.
Parts of Fitchburg were originally part of Lunenburg that broke away in 1764, because settlers with a long walk to the church and town meetings wanted their own town center closer to them.
For much of the 20th century, Lunenburg was home to Whalom Park, an amusement park of Flyer Comet fame, but it couldn’t keep up with the competition of the popular Six Flags New England in Agawam and closed in 2000. The site is now a lakeside neighborhood.
