Saugus MA Community Profile & History
Saugus, Massachusetts is a suburban community in the North Shore region. This historic town maintains the balance between rural and urban, traditional and modern, rustic and cosmopolitan which has come to define New England. Just 15 minutes from Boston, the town boasts a major highway along with several flourishing restaurants, a growing business district and a shopping mall.
First settled by the Puritans in 1629, the town is historically noted as the home of North America's first integrated iron works. In 1804, town resident Frederick Tudor established the local ice industry when he cut ice from a pond on the family farm and shipped it to the Caribbean island of Martinique. The community was home to a harness racing track in the 1800s known variously as the Franklin Trotting Park, Atwood Racetrack, and the Old Saugus Race Course. Closed after townspeople complained of the questionable patrons it attracted, the racetrack was converted into an airfield in 1911.
With the expansion of the highways in the first half of the 20th century, the town enjoyed a period of major residential and business development, particularly in the decades after World War II. The opening of the 150-store Square One Mall in 1994 cemented the town's status as a major retail center for the Greater Boston region and prompted a new era of expansion which continues to this day.
Residents who visit the center of town will discover that the community has not lost touch with its historic roots; the 200-year-old Town Hall and the historic Saugus Ironworks, the primary tourist attractions, are both on the National Historic Register. The town's other attractions include the 640-acre Breakhart Reservation, a hardwood forest with two freshwater lakes open for fishing, a network of hiking trails, and scenic views of Boston, central Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire atop seven rocky hills; the 600-acre Rumney Marsh, a marine life reservation that offers fishing, walking, boating and bird watching; and Camp Nihan, an environmental education center with sixty-five acres of marsh, woodland forest, and a pond. Each September residents celebrate the town's rich heritage with the annual Founder's Day Festivities. From its colonial past to the present day, Saugus has continued to flourish as one of Boston's most affluent suburbs.
