History

The Preston estate covered over and included its own golf course. Kelley, now serves as the 'Town Administration Building', and is also listed on the National Historic Register. Originally part of the large Saugus, Massachusetts land grant and later the eastern part of Lynn, Massachusetts Ward One, Swampscott was settled and established in 1629 when Francis Ingalls came and built the first Massachusetts Bay Colony Tanning on Humphrey’s Brook. None of the large hotels remain standing today, most having been destroyed by fire or savage coastal storms, and most of the large estates have been subdivided into single family homes. That their convenience and interests would be promoted by a separate government, especially after the citizens of Lynn, Massachusetts opted to switch from a town to a city form of government.
