North Beverly, Massachusetts, is a distinct part of the city of Beverly with its own unique historical flavor. Here's a short overview:

North Beverly's roots lie in the early settlement of Beverly, which was first colonized by English settlers in 1626 as part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Initially, Beverly was a part of Salem. In 1635, five planters were granted 1000 acres of land in the northern part of what would become Beverly, an area known as "Bass River Side." This marked the early establishment of North Beverly.

For much of its early history, North Beverly was a predominantly agricultural area, with numerous farms dotting the landscape.
A notable example was Cherry Hill Farm, owned by H.P. Hood & Sons, which became a well-known model dairy operation and a popular destination for families.

The development of transportation played a crucial role in North Beverly's growth. A train station on Enon Street facilitated the movement of goods and people. Tracks even connected to Wenham Lake for ice harvesting.

The Beverly Municipal Airport, established in 1931, further contributed to the area's development. The area retained a more suburban feel, offering a contrast to the more industrial and commercial center of downtown Beverly.
