| The City of Quincy is known by outsiders as the City of Presidents, but is
known by residents as a vigorous urban commercial and business center
serving the surrounding towns in Norfolk and Plymouth counties.
First settled in 1625 by traders, Quincy was established as a town in 1792
and incorporated as a city in 1888. The original rural agricultural
economy was quickly supplemented by fishing and then shipbuilding and
granite quarrying. The Quincy quarries provided the granite for the Bunker
Hill Monument among other famous structures, while the descendent of
previous yards, the Fore River shipyard, built and launched many of the
merchant and naval ships that sailed the world's oceans until long past the
Second World War. Immigrants from Italy, Sweden, Finland, Scotland and
Ireland came to work in the shipyards and granite quarries and to diversity
the Yankee population. English settlers retaining farms in Quincy into the
18th century included the Adams family, two of whose members became
ambassadors, legislators and presidents and John Hancock, the first signer
of the Declaration of Independence. John Adams followed George Washington
as president of the United States and his son John Quincy Adams followed
Thomas Jefferson as president. The relatively modest Adams homestead still
stands in its orchard and garden in Quincy, one of the many things that
draw visitors to the City.
Linked to Boston by rapid transit, Quincy now has some characteristics of a
suburban bedroom community, including comfortable and pleasant
neighborhoods, while retaining the earmarks of an urban center with its
strong commercial and shopping areas. |
