About Revere
Revere (, locally ) is a city in Suffolk County, Massachusetts. Located approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) northeast of Downtown Boston, Revere is the terminus of the MBTA Blue Line, with three stations located within the city: Wonderland, Revere Beach, and Beachmont. The city borders Massachusetts Bay, and was the site of the Battle of Chelsea Creek. Revere Beach, a three mile (4.8 km) stretch of beach on the city's eastern coast, is the oldest public beach in the United States.
Revere is one of the oldest communities in the United States. Originally known as Rumney Marsh, in reference to the 600-acre salt marsh located within the Saugus and Pines River Inlet, present-day Revere was part of Boston from 1632 until 1739, when it became part of Chelsea. Revere and neighboring, present-day Winthrop separated from Chelsea and were established as the town of North Chelsea in 1846. In 1852, part of North Chelsea was established as the town of Winthrop. What remained of North Chelsea was renamed in 1871 for Paul Revere, a Revolutionary War patriot and the eponymous subject of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1861 poem, "Paul Revere's Ride". In 1914, the Town of Revere voted to become a city. It was incorporated as the City of Revere with the inauguration of its first mayor on January 4, 1915. As of the 2020 census, the city had a population of 62,186 inhabitants.
