Warren is a town in Worcester County, Massachusetts, United States.

Warren was first settled in 1664 and was officially incorporated on January 16, 1741, as the town of Western.

[2] On March 13, 1834, the town was renamed Warren in honor of General Joseph Warren, who died at the Battle of Bunker Hill during the American Revolutionary War.

Darling, Western was renamed Warren due to "countless mistakes in the transmission of the mails.
