 Newburyport
Massachusetts is on of the smallest cities in
the state, but it is certainly one of the most
beautiful!
The city has a strong tourist industry including
a favorite destination for art lovers. Here you
will find a most charming and large downtown
area full of art galleries, specialty shops,
historic B&B’s, and terrific restaurants.
Newburyport is home to many large and gracious
Federalist homes that were built by fortunes
acquired by whaling and clipper ship owners
living during the 19th century. Don’t forget to
visit Plum Island, an oceanfront wildlife refuge
which also contains lovely beachfront and
adorable summer homes and cottages.
Newburyport is very proud of its history and
justifiably so. Newburyport staged the first tea
party in opposition to England’s tax on tea and
it was well before the more famous one in
Boston. Newburyport is also proud to be the
birth place of the United States Coast Guard
since the first ship commissioned for the Coast
guard was built here and named the frigate
Massachusetts.
In the early 1960’s, Newburyport used state and
federal funds to launch a massive redevelopment
scheme to reclaim its historic neighborhoods
made of granite, cobblestones and to update
their utilities such as water and sewer. At the
same time in order to prepare for a profitable
present and future, Newburyport built an
industrial park which now houses many
diversified small industries.
Many residents commute daily to Boston via Route
95 and on the commuter rail. Residents are proud
of the fact that many families have lived in the
city for generations, but they are just as proud
of the fact that the city welcomes newcomers and
the new ideas they bring.
