Formerly the smallest city in Massachusetts,
Newburyport is considered to be one of the architectural gems of
New England. Its history, both
public and private, is intertwined with and expressed by its
structures. Newburyport was incorporated in 1764 when it broke away
from the early settlement of Newbury, which was founded in 1635 by
English livestock investors. The port supplied England with large
timbers for shipbuilding in the 1700s. As international trade grew,
many merchants acquired great wealth, which in turn helped build
the city. The devastating fire of 1811
prompted building ordinances requiring non-wooden
material, and the beautiful, Federal-period brick
structures in the downtown area are the result. Today Newburyport
is an historical destination, the consummation of years of work in
architectural preservation, enriched by Yankee, European, and
French-Canadian cultures.
