Saugus was first settled in 1629 and was officially incorporated in 1815. The Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site, in operation from 1646-1668, was the first integrated iron works in North America. It is now a National Historic Site.

In recent years the town has suffered financial trouble and is in danger of needing state intervention to solve its fiscal problems.
