THE CITY OF NEWBURYPORT

Newburyport is a small coastal city in Essex County, Massachusetts, 38 miles (61 km) northeast of Boston. An historic seaport with a vibrant tourism industry, Newburyport includes part of Plum Island.  The mooring, winter storage and maintenance of recreational boats, motor and sail, still contribute a large part of the city's income. A coast guard station keeps a watchful eye on boating activity, especially in the swift tidal currents of the Merrimack River.

The city's historical highlights include:

• First United States Coast Guard Station
• First of many subsequent Clipper ships built here
• First "Tea Party" rebellion to oppose British Tea Tax
• First state mint and treasury building
• Oldest active and continuously running court house
