Revere MA

Wikipedia says: Revere is a city in Suffolk County, Massachusetts. The city borders Massachusetts Bay, and was the site of the Battle of Chelsea Creek. Revere Beach, a three mile (4.8 km) stretch of beach on the city’s eastern coast, is the oldest public beach in the United States.

Revere is one of the oldest communities in the United States. Originally known as Rumney Marsh, in reference to the 600-acre salt marsh located within the Saugus and Pines River Inlet, present-day Revere was part of Boston from 1632 until 1739, when it became part of Chelsea. Revere and neighboring, present-day Winthrop separated from Chelsea and were established as the town of North Chelsea in 1846. In 1852, part of North Chelsea was established as the town of Winthrop. What remained of North Chelsea was renamed on 1871 for Paul Revere, a Revolutionary War patriot and the eponymous subject of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s 1861 poem, “Paul Revere’s Ride”.
