West Medford is a neighborhood in the city of Medford, Massachusetts, United States. It occupies the southwest corner of the city and is bounded on the west and south by the Mystic River and on the east by Winthrop Street, with an irregular northern boundary separating it from the Brooks Estate. The neighborhood developed from colonial farmland into a railroad suburb in the nineteenth century and is notable for its long-standing African-American community, often known locally as "The Ville", which forms part of one of the oldest Afro-American communities in the United States.
