Newburyport
is a historically rich city located on the south bank of the Merrimack River at the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean. Originally inhabited by the Pawtucket Indians, it was settled in the 1630s by European immigrants who founded the city of Newbury. The small port of Newbury became an important fishing and trading settlement and by 1764 it was so prosperous that it broke away from Newbury and became the town of Newburyport. In 1851 it incorporated as a city. By the early 1900s, Newburyport had gone into a decline until the 1970's when the city launched an extraordinary urban renewal project that transformed the decaying downtown and waterfront buildings into the picturesque brick and cobblestone retail center that it is today. With the downtown area restored, an attractive waterfront park and boardwalk were constructed and today the city is a picturesque and thriving New England port town. Tours of the town are available, either guided or on your own, where you'll see shipyards, saltbox and Victorian homes, Federal style mansions, colonial homes and old cemeteries. The Cushing House Museum is located in a 21-room brick Federal mansion and the Custom House Maritime Museum is housed in a restored 1835 home and exhibits artifacts from Newburyport's rich shipbuilding and seaport days. Newburyport also offers year round recreational opportunities on the beaches of nearby Plum Island, fishing boat expeditions and surfcasting, ocean kayaking, biking, horseback riding and cross-country skiing at Maudslay State Park.

Newburyport Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
The southwestern tip of Maine, just across the New Hampshire state line, enjoys a four-season climate without the frigid temperatures of the northeastern part of the state. While the weather can change quickly in Maine (from sunny to stormy,) the seasons are pretty predictable. Fall is a favorite time of the year for many, with mild sunny days and crisp cool nights. With its proximity to the ocean, this part of Maine enjoys mild summers with cool ocean breezes and temperatures that rarely go over 80 degrees. Rain is possible anytime of the year. Visitors should come prepared for anything - temperatures in Maine have been known to swing 20 degrees in less than an hour. At times, the wind along the coast picks up, making it seem even cooler.
