May 25, 1840 Town of Quincy, Massachusetts Celebration "Order of Services" 200th Town Incorporation Anniversary
May 25, 1840-Dated, Broadside "Order of Services" for the Celebration of the 200th Anniversary of the Original Incorporation of the Town of Quincy, Massachusetts, Fine.
This historical Printed Broadside measures about 13-7/8" x 7-3/8" and includes a list of 13 separate events to occur on May 25, 1840 to commemorate and celebrate the Bicentennial of this famous Massachusetts town. Quincy, Massachusetts was the birthplace of Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams, and John Hancock, who served as President of the Continental Congress. This document has folds and some scattered foxing, yet it still has plenty of visual appeal. "Order of Services" includes a list of songs by the choir, hymns, prayers, a commemorative discourse, an: "Address To The Young Men", an Ode, a Poem, an Anthem, and finally a Benediction. We doubt if many (if any) other examples still exist today.
Quincy is a U.S. city in Norfolk County, Massachusetts. It is the largest city in the county and a part of Metropolitan Boston as one of Boston's immediate southern suburbs. Its population in 2010 was 92,271, making it the eighth-largest city in the state. Known as the "City of Presidents", Quincy is the birthplace of two U.S. presidents (John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams) as well as John Hancock, a President of the Continental Congress and the first signer of the Declaration of Independence, as well as being the first and third Governor of Massachusetts.
First settled in 1625, Quincy was briefly part of Dorchester before becoming the north precinct of Braintree in 1640. In 1792, Quincy was split off from Braintree; the new town was named after Colonel John Quincy, maternal grandfather of Abigail Adams and after whom John Quincy Adams was also named. Quincy became a city in 1888.
For more than a century, Quincy was home to a thriving granite industry; the city was also the site of the Granite Railway, the United States' first commercial railroad. Shipbuilding at the Fore River Shipyard was another key part of the city's economy. In the 20th century, both Howard Johnson's and Dunkin' Donuts were founded in the city.
