Chelsea Massachusetts.
Just 1.8 square miles, Chelsea lies next to the scenic Boston Harbor on
the Mystic and Chelsea Rivers. A glorious view of Boston's nearby skyline
can be enjoyed from the waterfront and from numerous hills and high points
throughout the City. Settled in 1624, Chelsea is an old city with a rich
and proud history. The Industrial Revolution transformed the once pastoral
suburb into a bustling manufacturing center. Chelsea flourished and its
ambitious, ethnically diverse population boomed.
Undaunted by a massive fire in 1908
and again in 1973, the citizens and business people of Chelsea rebuilt
their City each time with a remarkable zeal and determination. Growth resumed;
prosperity returned. Hundreds of thriving businesses were proud to call
Chelsea their home. Although noticeable industrial, Chelsea has many other
important assets - tree-lined streets with affordable, well-kept homes,
ballparks, playgrounds, excellent schools and a bustling, friendly downtown,
plus three National Register Districts.
Major highways and active rail lines
traverse the City; commuter bus and train services are readily available,
too. Logan International Airport, the eighth busiest airport in the world,
is just five minutes away. Area import/export operations are facilitated
by a well-marked network of commercial roads that services the airport.
Chelsea's location has always been excellent, its neighbors friendly and
its workforce exceptional. It is Chelsea's new pride, new spirit of cooperation
and new leadership that are making the difference.
Chelsea Massachusetts is located
in Eastern Massachusetts, bordered by Revere on the north and east, Everett
on the west, and Boston on the south. On the south, the Chelsea River and
the Mystic River form the boundary, on the east, the Chelsea River and
Mill Creek. The western boundary is partially formed by the Island End
River. Chelsea is 2 miles north of Boston. |
