Ipswich, Massachusetts is a coastal town in Essex County. Once a thriving mill town, Ipswich today is a culturally and economically diverse community. There are summer communities located on Great Neck, Little Neck and Argilla Road, mixed with year-round residences. Founded in 1634, Ipswich has a rich and varied history and is distinguished by a large number of 17th and early 18th century homes. By the 1950s, the arrival of major highways and railways near Ipswich precipitated a suburban population boom; many residents still commute to Boston by train and automobile. Among the many historical and recreational attractions in Ipswich are Crane Beach, Castle Hill, extensive salt marshes, and the Ipswich River. Two state forests and parks, three large tracts owned by religious orders and several large farms and estates in open space restrictive covenants provide a rural character to sections of the community. There are 12 churches representing a wide array of different faiths and numerous active social, civic and fraternal organizations. For other town tours visit http://www.virtualhomes.com .
