Topsfield MA Community Profile & History
Topsfield, Massachusetts lies approximately at the center of Essex County in northeastern Massachusetts. Nestled amidst rolling hills and winding streams, the area was originally inhabited by Native Americans. The first European settlers arrived in 1635, and Topsfield was incorporated in 1650.
While agriculture dominated Topsfield's early economy, a range of small factories, stores and inns appeared by the early 1800s. The Newburyport Turnpike was completed in 1805 and the railroad came in 1854, making it possible for residents to travel and work in other communities. In 1818 the first Topsfield Fair was held and is now the nation's oldest continuing fair.
While industry receded by the outset of the 20th century, Topsfield soon emerged as a highly affluent bedroom community. Just a short drive to Boston, the seacoast and other major New England cities, Topsfield is home to a number of commuting professionals and families today.
In addition to the Village Shopping Center, other small businesses are located principally along Route 1, though Topsfield remains primarily residential in nature. With over 350 years of rich history, Topsfield takes great pride in its classic small-town ambiance amidst the modern conveniences of nearby cities.
