Pages Brook
Pages Brook
Pages Brook is a brook in eastern Carlisle, in the part of old Billerica that was set off to Carlisle in 1780. It runs east from near the center of Carlisle through a small pond and a broad wetland toward the Concord River at the Billerica line, and a deed of 1926 bounds the 503-acre Judkins farm, which lay in both Billerica and Carlisle, by "the Carlisle line, Page's Brook and the Concord River." The Massachusetts Historical Commission's survey of Carlisle notes Native sites on the terraces overlooking "Spencer, Pages, and Great Brooks," places one of the first settlements in Carlisle at the Blood farms on Bedford Road south of Pages Brook after 1653, and credits Robert Blood with a saw mill on the brook about 1660. Page Brook Road in Carlisle is named for it. The origin of the name has not been found.
