Amesbury is a suburban community with an unusual industrial and
manufacturing history. First settled by Europeans in 1645, the town's
earliest industries included mills, shipyards and a heavily used ferry
operation across the Merrimac River to Newburyport. There were always
scattered farms in the community, but unlike most Colonial settlements,
agriculture was secondary to an aggressive maritime and industrial economy.
By the 19th century, the shipbuilding, shipping and fishing which had
employed most of the population was giving way to textiles, ironworks, saw
and grist mills that had been established on a 90' drop of the Powow River,
which provided crucial water power.
Among the most interesting of Amesbury's products were the carriages which
achieved some renown in the area. The same company made the transition
into the 20th century by converting its production into making automobile
bodies, and until the Great Depression of 1929, auto body making was a
major industry in the town. The same handsome stone industrial buildings
that once made nails and cloth are now filled with a diversity of
manufactured products and the situation of Amesbury at a transportation
crossroads of Interstate 95 and 495 gives the town a good competitive edge
for both residential and commercial development.
Along with the sturdy 19th century commercial buildings, Amesbury is also
rich in Federal-period residences, which the community carefully preserves
as its link with the past.
Northeastern Massachusetts, bordered by Merrimac on the west; South Hampton, New
Hampshire, on the north; Salisbury on the east; and Newburyport and West Newbury
on the south. Amesbury is located on the Merrimack River 10 miles northeast of
Haverhill, 43 miles north of Boston, and 260 miles from New York City.
