Population: 23,708 The Town of Reading is a medium size community which lies at a transportation hub. With Interstate Route 93 along its western boundary and Interstate 95 along its southern and southeastern boundaries, not only Boston but the seashore, retail shopping malls and employment centers areeasily accessible. This accessibility plus the New England character of the town make Reading an ideal residential area. First settled in 1639, the town was incorporated in 1644. Under the guidance of a citizen volunteer committee, Reading is looking forward to celebrating its 350th anniversary in 1994. This committee is only one of many volunteer boards, committees and commissions that assist an elected board of selectmen and a representative town meeting in governing the town. The town manager is responsible for day-to-day operations of the local government.
