Merrimac, Massachusetts is located
Northeastern Massachusetts, bordered by Haverhill on the southwest, the state of
New Hampshire on the northwest and north, Amesbury on the east, and West Newbury
on the south. Merrimac is 37 miles north of Boston; 78 miles south of Portland,
Maine; and 254 miles from New York City. Principal highways are Interstate Route 495 and State Route 110. There is no passenger or freight rail service in Merrimac, but the network
of intermodal facilities serving Massachusetts is easily accessible.
|
| The Town of Merrimac was first settled by Europeans in the late 1650's, and
the colonists' main crop was corn. As the town grew, Merrimac residents
also pursued maritime trades, fishing for salmon and sturgeon and
shipbuilding as well as acting as the distribution point for sugar and
molasses from the West Indian trade. By the 19th century, the principal
manufacturing activity was carriage making with thirty-one different
carriage factories in town.
The town's eventual growth, however, was residential and by the Second
World War, Merrimac was principally a residential community. In 1955 there
were 308 people employed in Merrimac, 39% in manufacturing, 24% in
transportation, 16% in retail and wholesale and 12% in construction. The
bulk of the town's 5,100 population worked elsewhere. |
