Chelsea: Smallest City, Highest Density
Chelsea covers just 2.2 square miles between the Mystic and Island End Rivers, making it the smallest city by area in Massachusetts. Despite its size, it is one of the most densely populated municipalities in the state. The city sits directly across the Tobin Bridge from Charlestown and borders Everett, Revere, and East Boston. For much of the 20th century, Chelsea struggled with poverty, political corruption, and a devastating fire in 1973 that destroyed 18 city blocks.
In 1991, the state placed Chelsea under receivership, the first Massachusetts municipality to lose local control in modern history. The receivership lasted until 1995 and resulted in a new city charter, financial restructuring, and governance reforms. Since then, the city has stabilized considerably. The Chelsea Market Basket and the commercial strip along Broadway serve a population that is predominantly Latino, with Salvadoran, Honduran, and Guatemalan families making up the largest groups.
The Silver Line bus rapid transit connects Chelsea to South Station in Boston via the Ted Williams Tunnel. Chelsea Creek, an industrialized waterway lined with fuel storage tanks, separates the city from East Boston. Forbes Park, along Mill Creek, provides some green space in an otherwise heavily built-up landscape. The Chelsea Soldiers' Home, one of two state-run veterans' facilities in Massachusetts, operates on a hill overlooking the city.
The Tobin Bridge, rising over 100 feet above the Mystic River, carries Route 1 traffic over Chelsea on its way to Boston. The bridge dominates the city's skyline from the west. Chelsea has invested in waterfront access along Chelsea Creek and the Island End River in recent years. The city's schools serve a population where the majority of students speak a language other than English at home. Chelsea operates under the city charter adopted after the receivership period.
