Methuen, Industrial city in Essex County, Massachusetts
The municipality spreads across 23 square miles at the intersection of the Merrimack and Spicket Rivers, creating a natural boundary with neighboring Lawrence and Haverhill.
The settlement emerged in 1642 as part of Haverhill before incorporating in 1725, taking its name from British diplomat Sir Paul Methuen.
The Methuen Memorial Music Hall contains the first concert organ in the United States, featuring an ornate case with a centrally placed bust of J.S. Bach.
Interstate highways 93 and 495 connect Methuen to Boston and Manchester, while the Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority provides local bus services.
The Searles Tenney Nevins Historic District preserves numerous architectural structures from prominent industrial families of the nineteenth century.
