Malden
Massachusetts boasts a history over three centuries old, from the small
settlement called Mystic Side to the modern, energetic city of today. Residents
state proudly that Malden has always been at the heart of things, a major
contributor to the everyday fabric of American life, having given birth
to writers and industrialists, revolutionaries and governors, actors and
artists. From Elisha Converse to John Volpe, from Walter Brennan to Louise
Stokes to Frank Stella, Maldonians have participated in every facet of
American culture. Even now, Malden is at the heart of an innovative New
England economy.
The city is situated in close proximity
to metropolitan Boston's major arteries and interstates. There is direct
access to one of the world's busiest international airports and the city
is serviced by both commuter rail and the MBTA Orange Line. Some of America's
best universities are within a stone's throw, as are many of the world's
best high-tech and medical research facilities.
The city is only minutes away from
some of New England's great beaches. Amidst all this activity, Malden has
tenaciously preserved its neighborly and small town tradition. Malden enjoys
an active business community, a downtown in the process of rejuvenation,
a fine system of parks and playgrounds and a variety of social, cultural
and fraternal organizations. To loyal town residents, Malden has the best
of both worlds; ready availability to the best of the big city and the
familiar feel of a small town.
Malden Mass is located in Eastern
Massachusetts, bordered by Stoneham and Melrose on the north, Revere on
the east, Everett on the south, and Medford on the west. Malden is 5 miles
north of Boston. |
