Revere, Massachusetts
Population: 42,786
Located in Suffolk County
The City of Revere is situated in eastern Massachusetts (Suffolk County) and borders Winthrop, East Boston and Chelsea to the South, Everett and Malden to the West, Saugus and Lynn to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. It comprises 10.0 square miles, although 4.1 miles are open water and wetlands and not suitable for development. Of the 5.9 miles of developed land, 70% is used for housing. Revere is located approximately 5 miles from downtown Boston. Revere's first inhabitants were Native Americans who belonged to the Pawtucket Tribe and were known as the Rumney Marsh Indians. The leader, or sachem, of the Pawtuckets was Nanepashemet of Lynn. Today, with a population of almost 49,000 people, Revere is a densely populated residential community with little industry. Its beach is still used by large numbers, but not to the extent that it was in the early 1900s. The MBTA Blue Line replaced the Narrow Gauge and it continues to serve the community as a link to Boston. Revere has a long, proud history and is looking forward to a bright, optimistic future.
