This article appears in Volume V17, Page 549 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MANCHESTER (popularly Manchester-by-the-Sea) , a township of Essex county,
Massachusetts
 , U.S.A., about 25 M. N.E. of Boston, on
Massachusetts
  Bay. Pop. (1900), 2522; (1905,
state
census
 ), 2618; (1910), 2673. Area, 7'64 sq. m. It is served by the Boston & Maine railroad, and is connected with neigh-
bouring towns and cities by electric lines. The township, heavily wooded in parts, and with picturesque shores alternating between rocky headlands and sandy beaches, stretches for several miles along the
coast
  between
Beverly
  on the west and
Gloucester
  on the
east
 . It is one of the most beautiful watering-places in America, and is the favourite summer residence of many of the foreign diplomats at Washington. The " singing
beach
  " is a stretch of white sand, which, when trodden upon, emits a curious musical
sound
 . Manchester, originally a
part
  of Salem, was settled about 163o and was at first known as Jeffrey's Creek. It was incorporated separately under its present name in 1645.
See Manchester Town Records (2 vols., Salem, 1889-1891), and D. F. Lamson, History of the Town of Manchester, 16451895 (Manchester, 1895).
