Charlton, Massachusetts
Charlton is a town in Worcester County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 13,315 at the 2020 census.
Charlton was first settled in 1735.

It was named after Sir Francis Charlton, 4th Baronet Charlton. During the 1800s, farming continued to be the major occupation, but woolen mills were being built along some of the town's brooks by the turn of the twentieth century.
