The reason that North Andover has the nickname Turkey Town is not known, although there are several explanations for the designation:

  1. There were many turkey farms in North Andover
  2. Wild turkeys were once plentiful in North Andover. (Wild turkeys were reintroduced in 1972. They had disappeared before then.)
  3. While transporting a shipment of turkeys on Main Street, the turkeys go loose and were seen running through the downtown area.
