Quincy, MA

Situated in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, Quincy is bordered by the Neponset River, which forms a border with Boston. Quincy is the most populous community along the South Shore. The city derives its name from Col. John Quincy but is perhaps more famous as the residence of John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States.

NEIGHBORHOODS AND DISTRICTS

ECONOMY AND INDUSTRIES

Quincy's largely residential character derives from its long history of homegrown industries, including stonecutting and shipbuilding. The stonecutting legacy was firmly established with the construction of the Granite Railway in 1826, the first commercial railroad in the country. The city was immortalized in the numerous buildings constructed with Quincy granite throughout the United States. The Fore River Shipyard thrived through the first half of the twentieth century, but shipbuilding could not compete with other industries due to steep labor and production costs, and the shipyard shut down in 1985.

Quincy's contemporary economy is dominated by service sector industries, including educational services, health care, and real estate. Quincy has been called the City of Presidents and the Birthplace of the American Dream. A thriving tourism industry accentuates Quincy's historic properties.

Major Quincy employers include State Street Corp., Boston Data Financial Services, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Arbella Mutual Insurance Company, and The Patriot Ledger.

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

EDUCATION
