Quincy: The City of Presidents
Quincy produced two American presidents: John Adams, the second, and his son John Quincy Adams, the sixth. Their birthplaces, two small saltbox houses on Franklin Street, are now managed by the National Park Service as part of Adams National Historical Park. The family compound at Peacefield, where four generations of the Adams family lived, sits on a hill in the same neighborhood. The Stone Temple, the United First Parish Church on Hancock Street, holds the crypts of both presidents and their wives.
Quincy's granite quarries supplied building stone for major projects across the eastern United States. The Granite Railway, built in 1826 to haul stone from the quarries to the Neponset River, is considered the first commercial railroad in the country. The Fore River Shipyard, established in 1884, built warships through both World Wars, including aircraft carriers. General Dynamics operated the yard until the 1980s, and portions of the waterfront have been redeveloped since.
The city sits directly south of Boston, connected by the Red Line subway that runs through the Quincy Center, Quincy Adams, Wollaston, and North Quincy stations. The Asian-American population has grown significantly since the 1980s, particularly around North Quincy, where Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean businesses line Hancock Street and the surrounding blocks.
The Quincy Center redevelopment project has brought new apartment towers and commercial space to the area around the Red Line station. The old Quincy Medical Center site and surrounding parcels have been transformed. Marina Bay, on the former Squantum Naval Air Station waterfront, has become a mixed-use neighborhood with condominiums, restaurants, and a marina. The city's compact geography and multiple subway stations make it one of the most transit-accessible communities on the South Shore.
Wollaston Beach, the longest beach in Boston Harbor, stretches along Quincy Shore Drive with views of the harbor islands and the Boston skyline. The beach and the adjacent parkway draw walkers, cyclists, and beachgoers year-round. Quincy operates under a mayor-council form of government. The city's economy draws on its transit access, its healthcare sector (including South Shore Hospital facilities), and the commercial activity along the Route 3A and Hancock Street corridors.
