A seaside community with natural resources such as fishing and lumber. Granite was quarried and led to the creation of the first commercial railroad in the US. Granite Rail. Soon shipbuilding was a major economic driver employing thousands during WWII and beyond.
Contemporary Quincy is a diverse community with a changing mix of races. Home values have increased 4 fold over the decades and is considered a highly valued suburb by virtue of its proximity 5 miles to Boston.
