Wellingborough is a large market town in the Wellingborough district of Northamptonshire, England, 11 miles from Northampton on the north side of the River Nene. Named "Wendelingburgh", the Anglo-Saxon settlement is mentioned in the Domesday Book as "Wendelburie"; the town was granted a royal market charter in 1201 by King John. At the 2011 census, the town had a population of 49,128; the Borough Council of Wellingborough has its offices in the town centre. The town is twinned with Niort in France, with Wittlich in Germany; the town is predicted to grow by 30 per cent under the Milton Keynes South Midlands study, the government has identified Wellingborough as one of several towns in Northamptonshire where growth in jobs and housing will be directed. The area will see an addition of around 10,000 homes by 2031 to the east of the town. Wellingborough, along with Corby and Kettering together comprise the core of the North Northamptonshire growth area, coordinated by the North Northamptonshire Joint Planning and Delivery.

The town has a growing commuter population as it is on the Midland Main Line railway, operated by East Midlands Railway, with trains to London St Pancras International taking under an hour, an interchange with Eurostar services. The town was established in the Anglo-Saxon period and was called "Wendelingburgh", it is surrounded by five wells: Redwell, Witche's Well, Lady's Well and Whytewell, which appear on its coat of arms. The medieval town of Wellingborough housed a modest monastic grange – now the Jacobean Croyland Abbey –, an offshoot of the monastery of Crowland Abbey, near Peterborough, some 30 miles down-river; this part of the town is known as Croyland. All Hallows Church is dates from c. 1160. The manor of Wellingborough belonged to Crowland Abbey Lincolnshire, from Saxon times and the monks built the original church; the earliest part of the building is the Norman doorway opening in from the south porch. The church was enlarged with the addition of more side chapels and by the end of the 13th century had assumed more or less its present plan.

The west tower, crowned with a graceful broach spire rising to 160 feet, was completed about 1270, after which the chancel was rebuilt and given the east window twenty years later. The church was restored in 1861 by Edmund Francis Law; the 20th-century Church of St Mary was built by Ninian Comper. Wellingborough was given a Market Charter dated 3 April 1201 when King John granted it to the "Abbot of Croyland and the monks serving God there" continuing, "they shall have a market at Wendligburg for one day each week, Wednesday". In the Elizabethan era the Lord of the Manor, Sir Christopher Hatton was a sponsor of Sir Francis Drake's expeditions. A hotel in a Grade II listed building built in the 17th century, was known variously as the Hind Hotel and as the Golden Hind Hotel. During the Civil War the largest substantial conflict in the area was the Battle of Naseby in 1645, although a minor skirmish in the town resulted in the killing of a parliamentarian officer Captain John Sawyer. Severe reprisals followed which included the carrying off to Northampton of the parish priest, Thomas Jones, 40 prisoners by a group of Roundheads.

However, after the Civil War Wellingborough was home to a colony of Diggers. Little is known about this period. Wellingborough was bombed during World War II, on Monday 3 August 1942. Six people were killed and 55 injured. Many houses and other buildings in the centre of the town were damaged in the attack; the town had two railway stations: the first called Wellingborough London Road, opened in 1845 and closed in 1966, linked Peterborough with Northampton. The second station, Wellingborough Midland Road, is still in operation with trains to London and the East Midlands. Since the'Midland Road' was dropped from the station name; the Midland Road station opened in 1857 with trains serving Kettering and a little Corby, was linked in 1867 to London St Pancras. In 1898 in the Wellingborough rail accident six or seven people around 65 were injured. In the 1880s two businessmen held a public meeting to build three tram lines in Wellingborough, the group merged with a similar company in Newport Pagnell who started to lay tram tracks, but within two years the plans were abandoned due to lack of funds.

Conner Prairie is a living history museum in Fishers, United States, which preserves the William Conner home. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the museum recreates 19th-century life along the White River; the property and William Conner house were purchased by pharmaceutical executive Eli Lilly in 1933 or 1934. Lilly restored the house, opened it to visitors. Lilly appointed resident Vern H. Fisher manager. By 1940 Lilly added several structures to the property, including a still, a loom house and a trading post. After Fisher's 1942 death, Tillman Bubenzer was farm manager until 1977; the farm was unprofitable, depended on Eli Lilly's support. In 1964, Lilly transferred its outbuildings to a charitable trust. Earlham College, a Quaker liberal-arts college in Richmond, was named as trustee. In transferring the property to the college, Lilly provided an endowment for its operation and continued to offer support with the provision that the property would be open to the public.

He transferred 1,371 acres of surrounding farmland to the college, suggesting that Earlham could sell the land and use its proceeds for the museum. Earlham elected to retain the farmland and expand the museum, constructing an 1836 village with funds provided by Lilly for the purpose; the museum grew in scope and popularity, attendance increased by 22 percent from 1975 to 1976. In 1999, tensions began to develop between the board of directors and Earlham about the museum's governance and the college's financial policies; the dispute culminated in Earlham's dismissal of the museum's president and board of directors in June 2003. The Indiana attorney general intervened and, after a lengthy and contentious dispute, a settlement was reached in which Earlham resigned as trustee of the charitable trust, the Lilly endowment was allocated between Conner Prairie and the college, the museum became independent. Conner Prairie has a board of directors, maintains its finances and endowment fund. In 2009, it joined the Smithsonian Affiliations program.

On December 17, 2010, Conner Prairie received the National Medal for Museum and Library Service and a $10,000 prize in a ceremony at the White House. The museum opened its newest exhibit in June 2011. "The 1863 Civil War Journey: Raid on Indiana" documents Morgan's Raid with live action and interactive activities.
