Gloucester, Massachusetts is located
Northeastern Massachusetts on Cape Ann, bordered by Manchester and Essex on the
west, the Atlantic Ocean on the north and south, and Rockport on the east.
Gloucester is 15 miles northeast of Salem, 31 miles northeast of Boston, and 243
miles from New York City. Gloucester is the northeastern terminus of State Route 128, which forms the
inner belt around Boston. the city is also served by State Routes 127 and
133. Commuter rail service to North Station, Boston, is available from
Gloucester (travel time 58-65 min.; 20 MBTA parking spaces) and West
Gloucester (travel time 53-60 min.; 44 parking spaces).

| Gloucester balances its intertwined past and future with assurance and
skill. The city, long renowned among artists for the purity of its light,
has traditionally been the home of internationally known painters like
Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper and Fitzhugh Lane and sculptors like Walker
Hancock. In addition, the Cape Ann Symphony makes its home in Gloucester as
does the critically acclaimed Gloucester Theatre Company, whose director
and playwright, Israel Horovitz, is known on and off Broadway.
But the beautiful harbor that attracts a sizeable artistic population is
also a working harbor which is one of the top three fishing ports in the
northeast. The picturesque fishing fleet, manned primarily by Portugese and
Italian residents of the city, supports a major fish packaging and freezing
industry. Residents note emphatically that the city is not a bedroom
community, offering work to many of its residents in five industrial parks
which produce everything from T-shirts to electronics and engineering.
Gloucester is equally proud of the diversity of its population, with
working class and ethnic residents as well as old wealthy families and
newer summer visitors. Estimates indicate that summer residents push up
the population by about a third, drawn by the physical beauty of its
location, by the vigorous whale-watching industry, sea-side restaurants and
colorful festivals. Understanding the value of its healthy working
waterfront, Gloucester has sought to protect it by banning all residential
development there. However, acknowledging that the fishing industry is
changing rapidly, the city is planning to develop further a controlled
tourism, working with the National Park Service on proposals to create an
historic industrial fishing park which will feature a working fishing
fleet.
The city hopes to use its physical setting and history as a basis for
balanced growth and change, without losing those characteristics most loved
by its residents. |
