Marlborough and Marlboro are one in the same as is Northborough and
Northboro or Southborough and Southboro or Westborough and Westborough.
The latter are in Worcester Co. the first being in Middlesex Co..
Marlboro (Marlborough) should not be confused with New Marlboro (New
Marlborough) which is in Berkshire Co.. Still confused? Take a look at

to get more confused.

...john from Marlboro or Marlborough (which was once known as Malbarow)
