Beverly Farms is a clearly defined neighborhood at the eastern edge of the city of Beverly, Massachusetts. It is an oceanfront community with a population of about 3,500 which extends from the Manchester-by-the-Sea border to another section of Beverly known as Prides Crossing. This area is roughly bounded by Prince Street on the South , Greenwood Ave on the North. and Manchester by the Sea on the East. A more exact description is provided in the Massachusetts Acts of 1852 Chapter 157. This area is part of Massachusetts's North Shore region, about 20 miles north of Boston. ==History== Beverly Farms and the adjacent Prides Crossing were originally farming communities, much like the rest of Beverly. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, wealthy residents of Boston and New York City built summer cottages along the seashore. These properties were nearly the size and stature of those in Newport, Rhode Island, though only a few of the original mansions remain in the neighborhood today. In 1887, Beverly Farms unsuccessfully petitioned the Massachusetts legislature for incorporation as a town. By the mid-twentieth century, Beverly Farms resembled a small town, somewhat secluded from the rest of Beverly and culturally interlinked with Prides Crossing. Working-class neighborhoods sprang up as support for the mansions became necessary. At this point, there was a wide financial gap between the wealthy and the working class. Beverly Hills, California, was named in 1907 after Beverly Farms, part of Beverly, which was a vacation spot of then-President Taft. Beverly Farms remains a vibrant community with changing demographics. Pockets of residential development and generally escalating real-estate values appear to have adjusted average residency to a wealthier population, much as in the past. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beverly Farms」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
