Ipswich

Ipswich is a town located in Essex County, Massachusetts. The name is derived from Ipswich, England, the source of prominent early settlers.

The land on which the Town of Ipswich was founded was originally inhabited by Indian tribes who called the area "Agawam." Little has been known about these people until recently. But now, studies have shown that tribes had been living along these coastal and riverine areas for thousands of years.
