About The City of Peabody, Ma.
Peabody, Massachusetts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peabody (pronounced /'pi?b?di/) is a city in Essex County, Massachusetts, United States. The population is about 53,000. Peabody is located in Boston's North Shore suburban area.History
First known as the Northfields, "the Farms", and Brooksby, the area was settled about 1626 within Salem, which had itself been founded in 1626 and incorporated in 1629. In 1752, the area was set off from Salem and incorporated as part of Danvers. It was usually referred to as "the South Parish", associated with the church located in the center (now Peabody Square). In 1855, the community broke away from Danvers to become the town of South Danvers, incorporated that May 18. The name was changed on April 30, 1868 to Peabody after George Peabody, a noted philanthropist. It would be incorporated as a city in 1916.
Giles Corey, the only person pressed to death by stones in the Salem witch hysteria of 1692, had his farm and was buried here beside his wife next to Crystal Lake.
On the morning of October 28, 1915, 21 young girls lost their lives in a tragic fire at the St. John's School on Chestnut Street in the Downtown area. The 21 girls who were trapped were found after the fire subsided, huddled together and burnt beyond recognition, on the other side of the entrance - just steps away from survival. All the teachers escaped with their lives. The students' deaths were privately mourned in Peabody and were rarely mentioned, as many tried to forget the tragedy. Because of this, Peabody became the first city to make a law that said all doors must push out [1][2]
Beginning as a farming community, the town's streams attracted mills which operated by water power. In particular, Peabody was a major center of New England's leather industry and tanneries remained a linchpin of the city's economy into the second half of the 20th century. The tanneries have since closed, but the city remains known locally as the Leather City or Tanner City and its high school sports teams are nicknamed the Tanners.
The loss of the tanneries was a blow to Peabody's economy, but the city has made up for the erosion of its industrial base, at least in part, through other forms of economic development. Early in the 20th Century, it joined the automobile revolution, hosting the pioneer brass era company, Corwin, maker of the oddly-named Gas-au-lec.[2] The Northshore Mall, originally The Northshore Shopping Center, is one of the region's largest malls. It opened in 1958 and is now the city's largest taxpayer. Centennial Park [3], an industrial park in the center of the city, has attracted several medical and technology companies.
Meanwhile, West Peabody, which was mostly farmland as recently as the 1950s, has been developed into a middle-to-upper class residential area.
Brooksby Farm, a historic farm managed by the City of Peabody, is a 275-acre working farm and conservation area that has been one of the city's most popular destinations for decades.
Peabody is the location of The Salem Country Club, a private country club with a professional golf course. In the past, the club has hosted The U.S. Senior Open in 2001 and the U.S. Women's Open in 1954 and 1984.
In the April 2009 edition of Forbes Magazine, Peabody was ranked the 14th most livable city in the United States. [4]

Geography and transportation
Peabody is located at 42°32'3?N 70°57'41?W? / ?42.53417°N 70.96139°W (42.534045, -70.961465).[3] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 16.9 square miles (43.7 km²), of which, 16.4 square miles (42.5 km²) of it is land and 0.5 square miles (1.2 km²) of it (2.85%) is water. The northwestern border of Peabody lies along the Ipswich River, with brooks feeding it, and the Waters River, a tributary of the Danvers River, drains in the northeast part of town. Several other ponds and a portion of Suntaug Lake lie within town. The largest protected portion of town is the Brooksby Farm, whose land includes the Nathaniel Felton Houses.
The town is wedge-shaped, with the town center located in the wider southeast end. The neighborhood of South Peabody lies south of it, and the more suburban neighborhood of West Peabody lies to the northwest of the town center, separated by the highways and the Proctor neighborhood. Peabody's town center is two miles from the center of Salem, and is 15 miles northeast of Boston, 18 miles west-southwest of Gloucester and 18 miles southeast of Lawrence. Peabody is bordered by Middleton to the north, Danvers to the northeast, Salem to the east, Lynn to the southwest and Lynnfield to the west.
Peabody is the site of the junction of Interstate 95, Route 128 and U.S. Route 1. After the junction with Route 1, the two highways split, with Interstate 95 going north and Route 128 going east towards Gloucester and Cape Ann. Massachusetts Route 114 passes through the northeast corner of town, going from Danvers towards Salem, with an intersection at Route 128's Exit 25, next to the Northshore Mall. The southern terminus of Route 35 is at Route 114, just a half mile before Route 114 enters Salem.
Several lines of the MBTA Bus service pass through town. The Springfield Terminal rail line passes through town, with one line passing from Lynnfield towards Danvers, and another, mostly abandoned, line passing from Middleton to Salem. The nearest commuter rail service is in Salem, along the Newburyport/Rockport Line of the MBTA Commuter Rail, with service to Boston's North Station. The nearest airport is the Beverly Municipal Airport, and the nearest national and international air service is located at Boston's Logan International Airport.
