"Birthplace of the American Navy"
DOWNTOWN BEVERLY
Early American history is abundant in Beverly, Massachusetts, but few cities blend so well the old and the new. The Beverly of today was included in the territory called "Naumkeag", settled in 1626 by Roger Conant and his followers, and set aside as a township in 1668. It was incorporated as a city in 1894. The early settlers handed down to its present generation a worthy heritage of tradition and history, along with a wealth of natural beauty and assets.
Situated only 18 miles north of Boston, Beverly is the heart of the North Shore. It has the convenience of the city, the serenity of the country and the charm of a New England seafaring town. Excellent trans- portation and modern highways, with a backdrop of nature's loveliest scenery, make it popular for living, business, industry, and recreation.
13
BEVERLY DIRECTORY-1958
ROUTE 128
Covering 15 square miles of area, it has nine miles of coastline, including smooth white sandy beaches, rocky ledges interspersed with seaside estates or neat, well-kept homes. Back from the shore are wooded country lanes, with gentle rolling terrain and attractive homes. Approach- ing by land or by sea, the tall white spires of the churches can be seen nestled among the abundant foliage of the early planters' ground.
BALCH HOUSE
American Pioneers Roger Conant, John Balch and other "planters" built their homes here. One of the homes, the Balch House, among the six oldest houses in the country, still stands as a record of early days and an attraction for visitors.
The city has many "firsts" of which to be proud. Here the first cotton mill in America was established in 1788, the first Britannia ware was manufactured in 1808, and the first Sunday School in New England was started (1810).
14
1958-THE PRICE & LEE CO.'S
COLLEGE HALL-ENDICOTT JUNIOR COLLEGE
The first ship of the American Navy, the schooner "Hannah", was outfitted, armed, equipped and provisioned at Beverly. Commissioned by General George Washington, it sailed from here on its first cruise on September 5, 1775, and two days later brought in a prize. This important incident in history, recorded in original documents at the Library of Congress, made Beverly the Birthplace of the American Navy. Many other ships were also comissioned at this important port of revolution- ary days, and at one time so many prizes were brought back to Beverly, it was necessary to construct new docks. Sixty vessels were in the harbor at one time ... aided greatly the continental forces through clothing, military stores and supplies.
MEMORIAL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
George Cabot in 1798 was honored by President John Adams by being named the first Secretary of the Navy.
History also reveals that baked beans originated in Beverly and later became popular in Boston. Historian Morrison noted "After teaching
15
BEVERLY DIRECTORY-1958
Boston how to bake beans, that city took credit. After showing Salem how to fish and privateer, the larger port almost absorbed her neighbor".
Beverly was the scene of the Summer White House of President William Howard Taft, and Benjamin Harrison summered here the year after he returned from the Presidency. It has been the home of many distinguished citizens, including Rev. Joseph Willard, D.D. of the First Church in Beverly, President of Harvard College in 1781; Nathan Dane, member of the Continental Congress; birthplace of Poetess Lucy Larcom; both Oliver Wendell Holmes, Senior and Junior; former Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, now chief U. S. Delegate to the United Nations; former Ambassador William Phillips, and many other famous people.
Beverly is a pleasant, residential-industrial community. From fishing, commerce, and agriculture of earlier days, it has developed into a prosperous, well-balanced city. From manufacture of shoes, it grew to include the world's largest shoe machinery plant, owned by the United Shoe Machinery Corporation, Beverly's largest employer. In recent years, various types of machine tools, chemicals, metal products and electronic devices have helped expand the city's economy. Highway Route 128, opening new land for industrial use, is attracting further industry and retail trade here.
New homes in all sections, new churches and schools, enlarged hospital facilities and a convenient downtown shopping center have added to the ideal living conditions found in the community. Over 100 clubs and organizations include, improvement associations, Beverly Historical Society, veterans organizations, fraternal groups, Community Fund, and social service agencies.
A progressive city government, an active Chamber of Commerce and a healthy business climate have multiplied natural advantages found here to make Beverly the kind of place people are proud to call their "home town".
