Description: BEVERLY FARMS, MASS. MANUSCRIPT CANCEL C. 1851-56 (Scott #11 Imperf in use between these dates)SENT TO FIDELIA F. PUTNAM, DANVERS, MASS.'LADY'S COVER'Beverly Hills, California, was named in 1907 after Beverly Farms, which was a vacation spot of then-President Taft.[5][6THERE IS NO LETTER OR ENCLOSURE WITH THIS COVER. Beverly Farms is a neighborhood comprising the eastern part of the city of Beverly, Massachusetts, in the state's North Shore region, approximately 20 miles north of Boston. Beverly Farms is an oceanfront community with a population of about 3,500, extending west from the Manchester-by-the-Sea border to another section of Beverly, known as Prides Crossing. The western boundary of Beverly Farms is in dispute. For instance, the boundaries of West Beach were defined by Chapter 157 of the Massachusetts Acts and Resolves of 1852, in terms of landmarks and property lines that existed at the time, and those are sometimes used as the boundaries of Beverly Farms. Others have demarcated the Western border as the location at which a local trolley line from downtown Beverly ended; more specifically, this location is called "Chapman's Corner" and is at the corner of Hale and Boyle's Streets.[1]History]Beverly Farms and the adjacent Prides Crossing were originally farming communities. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, wealthy residents of Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and New York City built summer cottages along the seashore. These properties were the size and stature of those in Newport, Rhode Island, though only a few of the original mansions remain in the neighborhood today.In 1887, Beverly Farms unsuccessfully petitioned the Massachusetts legislature for incorporation as a town.[2] Town Selectman John Baker argued against the incorporation and in response to a bribery scandal, Oliver Ames vetoed the Act.[3]By the mid-twentieth century, Beverly Farms resembled a small town, somewhat secluded from the rest of Beverly and culturally interlinked with Prides Crossing. A number of working-class neighborhoods appeared around the town. As of 2020, 82% of individuals in the workforce are in White-collar jobs, with 18% working Blue-collar jobs.[4]
