Tyngsborough was founded in 1675 by Colonel Jonathan Tyng, and the Tyng Mansion House was one of the oldest homes north of Boston. On February 23, 1809, Tyngsborough was incorporated as a town, breaking from Chelmsford, Dunstable, and the parishes in Billerica. As the town grew, Tyngsborough became known for its ferries, quarries, and box companies. Until the late 1960's, Tyngsborough was a vacation community with a large seasonal population.

The 1,000-acre Lowell-Dracut-Tyngsboro State Forest is a popular attraction, with 180 acres of ponds, swamps, and wetlands. The forest has six miles of trails offering hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling. Hunting is permitted in season.

Primarily a residential community, the town is home to the corporate headquarters of Joan Fabrics, America's leading manufacturer of furniture and automotive fabrics, as well as a growing number of technology-based companies.
