Newburyport MA Community Profile & History
Newburyport, Massachusetts has a population of more than 16,000, which continues to grow each year as people are attracted to this historic seaside town. A short drive from both the New Hampshire border and the state capital of Boston, it is among the most beautiful towns in Massachusetts, with a bounty of ocean views and scenic architecture dating from as early as the 17th century.
Originally settled as part of "Newberry Plantation" in 1635, the community was incorporated separately under its present name in 1764. Situated at the mouth of the Merrimack River, the community prospered as a shipbuilding, manufacturing and maritime trade center, gaining city status in 1851. While the thriving downtown was in danger of being razed to make way for new retail establishments in the 1970s, local efforts halted the new plans and instead precipitated the community's emergence as a major historic destination on the North Shore. Many of the houses in the area date from 19th century, while the original downtown, recently restored to its colonial-era splendor, has been named a National Historic Landmark. Once a major port on the Atlantic Ocean, Newburyport was the birthplace of the United States Coast Guard.
The first community in the state of Massachusetts to complete a master plan, Newburyport now boasts a strong tourist industry. The public school system is small, but more than adequate for the size of the town. There are also several private schools in the area. Students in the community have excellent opportunities to continue their education beyond high school at one of the many nearby colleges and universities.
