| The City of Lynn was settled by colonists from the New England Company in
Salem in 1629. Early settlers relied primarily on family farming and shell
fishing although an iron works was established in the city in 1643.
Leather tanning became a major industry very early on and by 1775 there
were a string of tanneries along Black Marsh Brook, called Tanney Brook, to
the harbor. When the MBTA was extended from Boston to Salem in 1837, it
went through Lynn, encouraging growth in the shoe industry and a factory
district was created as well as shoe workers' neighborhoods of
boardinghouses. The Civil War brought great prosperity to the city and
further growth of the shoe factories. Even the fires of 1869 and 1889,
which destroyed much of the central business district from Central Square
to Broad Street, didn't stop expansion. The gutted buildings were simply
replaced by five and six story shoe factories.
While Lynn developed its major industrial capacity, handsome summer estates
were being built along its shore by the middle of the 19th century. These
established the city as a fashionable Boston resort area. At least a dozen
large shore estates were built and other land was subdivided for
increasingly suburban residential development. When Lynn Shore Drive was
opened in 1910, it encouraged the development of high rises to take
advantage of the shore view.
Lynn, now the largest city in Essex County, is an urban manufacturing and
commercial center, densely populated and culturally diverse. Residents are
proud of the city's long history, which parallels the history of New
England as a whole. |
