Saugus, located in Essex County, Massachusetts, has a rich history that dates back to the early colonial era. Originally part of Lynn, Saugus was incorporated as its own town in 1629. Its name, believed to be derived from the Native American word “sau-ke-ge,” meaning “great place,” reflects the area’s historical importance.
Over the centuries, Saugus developed from a small farming community into a bustling industrial hub during the 19th century. The town became well known for its ironworks, which played a crucial role in America’s early industrialization. The Saugus Iron Works, established in the 1640s, was one of the first in the country and is now a National Historic Site.
Today, Saugus retains a rich blend of its historical roots and modern growth. The town offers a variety of amenities, a family-friendly environment, and easy access to the larger metropolitan areas of Boston and Salem. Its proximity to these cities has made it an attractive place to live, with a thriving community of residents who are proud of their town’s history and heritage.
