The Town

Acton is in Middlesex County.

From www.town.acton.ma.us/:

Acton is a suburban community located 25 miles northwest of Boston. Although Acton's population has almost tripled in the last three decades, the town has retained much of its rural New England character, as evidenced by the traditional town center and green, with fine examples of historic architecture, and the stone walls and tree-lined country roads. However, Acton is well prepared for the 21st century. Acton affords a full range of services to its residents and businesses, including an active town government, top-notch libraries, a nationally accredited police department, a full-time fire department, and local and regional school systems that are ranked among the top in the state. Commerce continues to thrive and grow in Acton due in large part to its prime location along Routes 2, 27 and 111, the commuter train stop, and its proximity to Route 495. A wide range of retail stores and services, a community theater, various types of commercial recreation and several museums, can all be found in Acton.

Town flag

The assistant town manager has informed me that he has never seen or heard of a town flag.

It can be noted that the Minutemen flag has been submitted to the Hall of Flags in Boston to represent the town of Acton.

The Acton Minutemen flag is familiar through the Acton Minutemen (https://actonminutemen.org), but is not an official flag of the town.
