The area currently encompassed by Chelmsford, Lowell, Westford, Carlisle and to a certain extent Dracut, were all originally part of Chelmsford . Westford seceded in 1729 . Carlisle fully became a part of Concord in 1780, seceding from that town in 1805 . Lowell would be formed under extraordinary circumstances when the Boston Associates purchased East Chelmsford to serve as a planned factory town, incorporated as Lowell in 1826 . Dracut's relationship to Chelmsford is less clear cut, however the relationship of the two towns in the 17th century resembles a slightly imperial one as Dracut, while a separate entity, was largely dependent on Chelmsford, particularly the West Dracut area, near the old boundary of East Chelmsford . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1655 </Td> <Td> Groton </Td> <Td> Massachusetts </Td> <Td> United States </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1655 </Td> <Td> Billerica </Td> <Td> Massachusetts </Td> <Td> United States </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1657 </Td> <Td> Longueuil </Td> <Td> Quebec </Td> <Td> Canada </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1658 </Td> <Td> Harlem </Td> <Td> New York </Td> <Td> United States </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1659 </Td> <Td> Assonet </Td> <Td> Massachusetts </Td> <Td> United States </Td> <Td> Settled 1659 .
