Beverly is a city of 42,000 people (2018) in the North Shore region of Massachusetts. Dating back to the 17th century, Beverly has a long maritime history intertwined with resort, residential, and manufacturing roles that have helped defined the city as it is today. From the city's more urbanized western side to the rural estates of the east, Beverly possesses a diverse landscape that adds a number of different areas for visitors to explore. In addition, Beverly also functions as a regional center of higher education, being home to both Endicott College and the Montserrat College of Art which help bring a collegial and cultured environment to the community. And while somewhat overshadowed by the communities of urban-hub Boston and witchcraft-infused Salem to the south, Beverly is an up-and-coming community with theaters, cafes, shops, parks, beaches and historic locations that makes it well-worth a trip.
