Westminster is located in north central Massachusetts approximately 50 miles from Boston. It is situated on Route 2A near the beginning of the Mohawk Trail in the midst of Johnny Appleseed country. As of the 2000 census the town had a population of 6,907 people. The Town of Westminster is a "suburban hill town" which was originally the six-square mile Narragansett Township Number 2, which was granted to veterans of King Philips War in 1728. Used by Indians for hunting and fishing, the town was founded in 1733 although the first permanent settlement didnt take place until 1737 and the community wasnt officially incorporated until 1770. Today it's a pretty town with close-knit neighborhoods in a tranquil country setting. Residents and visitors alike value the rural nature and natural beauty of the town, complete with views of beautiful lakes and majestic Mt. Wachusetts. Westminster has a prime location bordered by Ashburnham on the north, Fitchburg and Leominster on the east, Princeton and Hubbardston on the south and Gardner on the west. It is just 6 miles west of Fitchburg and 24 miles north of the town of Worcester, home to the oldest music festival in the country. Recreational activities in the area include swimming, hiking, biking, horseback riding, fishing and boating and golf.

Westminster Weather & Climate

Central Massachusetts  has a humid continental climate with four distinct seasons. Winters are cold and snowy and summers are warm and humid. There is a large seasonal temperature variance in central Massachusetts, because places further inland do not have the moderating influence of the ocean. West-central Massachusetts has colder winters and cooler summers than areas along the coast. Summer thunderstorms are common, on average about 30 per year. Nor-easters (winter storms with winds coming from the Northeast) can drop a foot or more of snow. In summer, central Massachusetts is slightly more humid than the coast. Autumn brings crisp air and sunny days. Spring, on the other hand, is usually wet and cloudy.
