Residential area near a business park
West Peabody, 30 minutes from Boston, prides itself on its residents, its most valuable resource. West Peabody and the surrounding area was once part of Salem but was named Peabody after the father of modern philanthropy, George Peabody, in 1868. In 1916, the community was incorporated into Essex County. “The city grew around West Peabody,” says Darryl Ann McCarthy, administrative assistant to the mayor and resident of Peabody. Peabody’s main source of income was in the leather tanning industry along with redware pottery until the 1900s. “The last leather factory is shutting down,” says McCarthy. Now, Peabody’s primary source of revenue is Centennial Industrial Park, a business park housing manufacturing, technology and healthcare companies, as well as Northshore Mall. West Peabody is separated from the business park and mall by a highway and is mainly residential.
