About Merrimac, Massachusetts

Merrimac is a town of 6,723 people in Essex County, on the Merrimack River's north bank where Massachusetts meets New Hampshire. English settlers arrived in 1638 and built the river village of Merrimacport, then part of Salisbury. When Amesbury broke away from Salisbury in 1666, this area went with it and became known as the West Parish of Amesbury, or West Amesbury. For two centuries its people farmed, fished and built a few ships.

The colonial border settlement of 1741 took the parish's land farthest from the river, and that land became Newton, New Hampshire. In the nineteenth century, factory growth around Lawrence and Lowell reached West Amesbury, and a new center grew up around Merrimac Square. On April 11, 1876, Merrimac and Merrimacport left Amesbury and were incorporated as a town of their own.

  • Named for swift waterBoth the town and the river are thought to carry the name of the Native people of the valley. The word Merrimac, also spelled Merrimack, is translated as "swift water place."
  • Carriages known worldwideIn the nineteenth century Merrimac's shops built horse-drawn carriages that made the town's name known around the world. The brick blocks and Victorian buildings of Merrimac Square date from that boom. When the region's factories left for the Midwest in the early twentieth century, the Merrimack Valley towns entered a long decline. Merrimac grew again in the 1990s as a mostly residential town.
  • Forte the fiddlerSlavery reached West Amesbury too: in 1771, residents Isaac Merrill, Benjamin Morse and Wells Chase held at least four enslaved Africans. A man known as Forte had been sold by a West Newbury slave trader to Christopher Sargent. Once Massachusetts abolished slavery, Forte became famous around town for his fiddling.
  • Lake Attitash and Indian Head ParkLake Attitash, a 360-acre great pond on the Amesbury line, was once called Kimball's Pond. Its name is said to come from a Native word for huckleberry, and the town's beach on its shore is Indian Head Park.
  • From West Amesbury to San DiegoEphraim Morse was born in West Amesbury in 1823. He worked a farm and taught school in the parish until 1848, when the California gold rush drew him west. He settled in San Diego in its early years and put forward the idea for the park that grew into Balboa Park.
