About Beverly
Founded in 1626, the City of Beverly is one of the oldest communities
in the state. Residents describe their city as the birthplace of the United
States Navy, noting that the first ship commissioned by the Navy first
sailed from Beverly Harbor. Although the city was the location of the
first cotton mill and the first Sunday school in the country, and has one
of its neighborhoods, the Fish Flake District, on the National Register of
Historic sites, it is the present and future rather than the past which
engross the energies of the community.
Beverly residents have watched an interesting shift over the past 50
years, as the city changed from an industrial site with huge manufacturers
like the United Shoe Machine Corporation, to a bedroom community that is
85% residential and emphasizes its academic and cultural facilities more
than the industrial parks that house mixed computer and other high
technology firms. The city is the home of private Endicott College and a
campus of the public North Shore Community College as well as the site of
the North Shore Music Theatre which brings in hordes of visitors to
glittering Broadway-type productions. Intact in Beverly is the spacious
echo of the past since the city is still the home of some of the most
historic families in America on gracious estates in the northern portion
of the community.
Residents note the first-rate hospital, the miles of beautiful beach, and
the diverse sections of the community that offer everything from rural to
urban lifestyles in saying that the city offers everything that anyone
could want in a home town.
