Learn More About Newbury, MA

Newbury, MA, is a peaceful, community-oriented town located in Essex County. Founded in 1635, Newbury heavily relied on the town’s bountiful natural resources. While nature was once central to the town’s survival, it remains at the core of the town’s identity today through active conservation commitments.

Around 40 miles North of Boston, Newbury is a scenic escape from the fast-paced life of the city. With a focus on outdoor activities and wildlife preservation, Newbury is a coastal community popular amongst birders and other animal enthusiasts.

Newbury is a multi-faceted town with three distinct districts, attracting new residents and visitors with different interests.
