Return to Index History & History Related Items Lynn history: Early in the settlement of our Country, in 1629, colonists came the what would be the City of Lynn, Massachusetts. They came from the New England Company in Salem. Initially, they relied mostly on shell fishing and family farms for their existence. An iron works was built in 1643 and tanning became a major industry too. By 1775, there were many tanneries along the Black Marsh Brook, which was called Tanney Brook. After the extension of the MBTA from Boston to Salem in 1837, the area grew much more with both the shoe industry and a factory area being created in Lynn. Rather than hurting the economy, the Civil War brought prosperity to Lynn and the shoe factories grew even more. Bad fires in both 1869 and 1889 destroyed much of the business district, but expansion continued despite the disasters. Rather than moan and groan over the fires, local businesses just built back bigger and better with some "high-rise" five and six story shoe factories going up in place of the smaller burned-out buildings. Due to the success of business in the area, the city's residential areas developed greatly. Large homes were built on spacious grounds. Many summer estates were built along the shore by the mid 1800's. It began to be a Boston resort area. More and more residential development occurred in Lynn and when Lynn Shore Drive was opened in 1910, more and taller buildings were built to encourage the view of the shoreline. The incorporation date of Lynn: 1629 as a town and 1850 as a city.
