Marblehead is located approximately 18 miles north of Boston along the rocky shores of northeast Massachusetts. This historic town was founded in 1629 as a commercial fishing village and in 1660, an official report to the King of England proclaimed Marblehead as "the greatest Towne for fishing in New England." Its' appeal as a seaside resort town began attracting visitors in the late 1800s and soon spacious summer "cottages" were built in the outlying areas of town such as Peach's Point and the Neck. Several prestigious yacht clubs were founded in the early 1880s and many restaurants and resort hotels soon followed. Marblehead and its' harbor became one of the country's most popular sailing centers and is often referred to as the "Yachting Capital of America." Today, the town is also well known for its quaint narrow streets and historic 17th and 18th century buildings and for its' pioneering influences in the birth of the American Navy, as well as its' contributions to yachting and sailboat racing. Visitors can browse the town's many shops, art galleries and antique shops, and Marblehead boasts over 20 restaurants and 30 bed and breakfast inns. Annual events include a Farmer's Market, Summer Jazz Series and Symphony by the Sea, and an Annual Christmas Walk and Festival of the Arts.
