Melrose, Suburban community in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, US
The city spans across several neighborhoods including Cedar Park, Downtown, East Side, and Mount Hood, connected by tree-lined streets and public parks.
Originally part of Charlestown and Malden, Melrose gained township status in 1850 and became incorporated as a city in 1900.
The city maintains several performance venues and hosts regular theater productions, art exhibitions, and seasonal festivals throughout the year.
Three commuter rail stations - Wyoming Hill, Melrose Cedar Park, and Melrose Highlands - provide direct transportation links to Boston.
