Introduction to Revere, Massachusetts
Revere, Massachusetts, in Suffolk county, is 3 miles E of Malden, Massachusetts (center to center) and 4 miles NE of Boston, Massachusetts. It's a residential suburb with a diverse population. A significant portion of the city consists of open water and wetlands.
Revere History
The Rumney Marsh Indians, a Pawtucket Tribe, were the initial inhabitants. In 1616 an epidemic killed thousands in the region. Acreage was given to prominent citizens of Boston and called North Chelsea. It evolved into a farming community. The first naval battle during the American Revolution occurred in Rumney Marsh. In 1871 North Chelsea was renamed after Paul Revere.
The arrival of the Eastern Railroad in 1838 and later the arrival of the Boston Revere Beach & Lynn Railroad allowed the town to become a popular beach resort. The beach was a poplar destination for the working class and immigrants. It featured a variety of amusement rides and had one of the biggest roller coasters in the country. The area began to deteriorate during the 1950's. The beach was revitalized and had a reopening in 1992. It now includes high rise housing units, refurbished pavilions, a resanded beach and a restored boulevard.
