Newburyport, Coastal town in Essex County, Massachusetts.
Located at the mouth of the Merrimack River, Newburyport features red brick buildings, a harborside boardwalk, and streets filled with local shops.
The settlement, established in 1635, developed into a major shipbuilding and trading center during the 18th century, with vessels sailing worldwide from its harbor.
The Firehouse Center for the Arts, Custom House Maritime Museum, and Museum of Old Newbury preserve and showcase the regional heritage through exhibitions and programs.
The MBTA commuter rail connects Newburyport to Boston with regular service, while Interstate 95 provides direct access to surrounding New England destinations.
A catastrophic fire in 1811 led to the construction of numerous brick buildings in downtown, creating the uniform architectural style visible today.
