Compare to another town

The City of Peabody, strategically located 18 miles North of Boston at the intersection of Route 128, Route 1 and I-95, is a city that works, residents state emphatically. They point out that Peabody has evolved into a diverse vibrant community, a wonderful place to live and raise a family, and a tremendous economic success story.
Throughout its history, Peabody has been a regional employment center for the North Shore. From its rise as one of the world's great leather-producers with over 100 tanneries, to today's modern, highly successful Centennial Industrial Park, newly renovated North Shore Mall and rejuvenated downtown, Peabody continues to be a focal point for the North Shore economy.
Peabody is also special because its citizens believe in their community. One example is the "Pride in Peabody" program in which all segments of the community come together to enhance, restore and maintain the beauty of the city. Citizens also participate in and support the many community activities available such as the International Festival, the Brooksby Harvest Festival, the Holiday Festival and the Community Concerts series. This community spirit makes the city exciting and gives it strength. Residents are confident that the rejuvenated leather city sparkles more brightly than ever.
