The
City of Peabody Massachusetts, strategically located 18 miles North of
Boston at the intersection of Route 128, Route 1 and I-95, is a city that
works, residents state emphatically. They point out that Peabody has evolved
into a diverse vibrant community, a wonderful place to live and raise a
family, and a tremendous economic success story. Throughout its history,
Peabody has been a regional employment center for the North Shore.
From its rise as one of the world's
great leather-producers with over 100 tanneries, to today's modern, highly
successful Centennial Industrial Park, newly renovated North Shore Mall
and rejuvenated downtown, Peabody continues to be a focal point for the
North Shore economy. Peabody is also special because its citizens believe
in their community. One example is the "Pride in Peabody" program in which
all segments of the community come together to enhance, restore and maintain
the beauty of the city.
Citizens also participate in and
support the many community activities available such as the International
Festival, the Brooksby Harvest Festival, the Holiday Festival and the Community
Concerts series. This community spirit makes the city exciting and gives
it strength. Residents are confident that the rejuvenated leather city
sparkles more brightly than ever.
Peabody Mass is located in Northeastern
Massachusetts, bordered by Lynnfield on the west, Middleton and Danvers
on the north, Salem on the east, and Lynn on the south. Peabody is 17 miles
north of Boston. |
