Chelsea is a town in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, United States, just across the Mystic River from Boston. In 2013, Chelsea has an estimated population of 36,828. It is also the second most populous city in Massachusetts behind Somerville. With a total area of ​​just 2.21 square miles, Chelsea is the smallest city in Massachusetts in terms of total area.
Chelsea is a diverse working class community, which contains high-level industry activity. It is one of only three Massachusetts towns where the majority of the population identifies as Hispanic or Latino, alongside Lawrence and Holyoke. After seducing bankruptcy in the 1990s, the once industrialized industrial city has reversed the prolonged decline and in recent years has enjoyed sustained economic growth. Thanks to its relative abilities and proximity to Boston, Chelsea has added over 1,200 homes since 2005, most loft and condo-style apartments are suitable for small families or young professionals. There is also significant office, retail and restaurant development throughout the city.

Histori
Penyelesaian awal
The area of ​​Chelsea was first called Winnisimmet (meaning "a good spring nearby") by the Massachusett tribe, who once lived there. It was completed in 1624 by Samuel Maverick, whose palisaded trading post was considered the first permanent settlement by Boston Harbor. In 1635, Maverick sold all Winnisimmet, except his home and farm, to Richard Bellingham. This community remained part of Boston until it was founded and founded in 1739, when it was named after Chelsea, a neighborhood in London, England.
Role in the Revolutionary War
In 1775, the Battle of the Chelsea River was fought in the area, the second battle of the Revolution, in which American troops made one of their first catches of a British ship. Part of George Washington's troops stationed at Chelsea during the Siege of Boston.
On February 22, 1841, part of Chelsea was annexed by Saugus, Massachusetts. On March 19, 1846, Northern Chelsea, consisting of Revere and Winthrop is currently established as a separate city. Integrated as a city in 1857, Chelsea evolved as an industrial hub and by mid-century had become a locomotive in the construction of a wooden sailing ship. As the century passed, steam power began to overtake the age of the screen and the industry in the city began to shift toward manufacturing. Factories that make rubber and elastic goods, boots and shoes, stoves, and adhesives began to appear along the edge of Boston Harbor. It became home to the Chelsea Navy Hospital designed by Alexander Parris and home to the soldiers.
Population changed
According to local historical records, Nathan Morse, the first Jewish resident of Chelsea, arrived in 1864, and by 1890 there were only 82 Jews living in the city. However, Chelsea was a major destination for the "big wave" of Russian and Eastern European immigrants, especially Russian Jews, who came to the United States after 1890. By 1910 the number of Jews had increased to 11,225, almost a third of the city's total population. In the 1930s there were about 20,000 Jews in Chelsea from a total population of nearly 46,000. Given the area of ​​the city, Chelsea probably has the most Jews per square mile of any city outside of New York City.
On April 12, 1908, nearly half the city was destroyed in the first two major fires that would destroy Chelsea in the 20th century. The fire caused 18,000 people, 56 percent of the population, homeless. Regardless of the magnitude of the destruction, it will only take about two and a half years to rebuild and five years to surpass the level of infrastructure in 1908. The city is also laid out differently after a fire, with wider roads and more access to emergency vehicles. Many townspeople leave and never return, which opens the door for many immigrants living in Boston to "move" to Chelsea. For immigrants living in crowded tenements in Boston's West End, East and South Ends, Chelsea is the next stop on their economic mobility path.
By 1919 Chelsea's population had reached a record level of 52,662, with a foreign-born population of 46 percent of the population. Completely diverted from suburban to industrial city, the waterfront develops, with shipbuilding, woodwork, metalwork and paint companies lined up on Marginal Street.
During the 1930s, the first Jewish exodus from Chelsea to the suburbs began. As societies prosper and grow, many seek to find new opportunities in the more prosperous Newton and Brookline communities. By the 1950s the Jewish population had decreased to about 8,000 and more people began to build roots in seaside towns of Swampscott and Marblehead, Massachusetts.
After World War II, Chelsea started a long and slow setback; between 1940 and 1980, the population declined 38 percent. Chelsea, however, lost more population than any other urban area after 1950 because the elevated toll road was built to connect the North Shore to Boston, via the Mystic River Bridge (later renamed Boston Mayor Maurice J. Tobin). Highway planners fail to predict that the new Route 1 North Expressway will ravage the city more than the 1908 fire. Hundreds of homes are missing to pave the way for toll roads as the city cuts by half. The outward migration result brings many small, local, many capital businesses and, apparently, the soul of the city. Historical homes are abandoned, along with industrial buildings, brown fields, salt piles and gas storage tanks adorning city views.
In 1973, disaster struck again when the Second Big Fire of Chelsea burned 18 city blocks, leaving nearly a fifth of the city in ash. Both fires came from Chelsea's "fabric store district", the crowded streets littered with garbage shops scavenging pieces, metal, and flammable items. Buildings of wooden frames and houses of three to six families were built together, and quickly burned.
A major shift occurred in the early 1970s when Chelsea became the center of Latin immigration. Racial conflict and tension became a regular part of life at Chelsea. Although the Hispanic population continued to grow, the city did not hire the first Spanish-language police officers until 1992. In the early 1990s, Chelsea was the poorest and most dangerous city in Massachusetts.
In 1990, Chelsea collapsed economically and socially. Crime is rampant, not least among police and local government officials. Population cooling makes way for more immigrants, but it drains the city's tax base. The cost of running the city and maintaining its infrastructure did not decrease simultaneously; in 1991, the city suffered fiscal collapse.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts enacted a special law to put Chelsea into the curator. For the first time since the Great Depression, a Massachusetts city submitted house rules and allowed a state-appointed recipient to control all aspects of the city administration. Governor William Weld was named James Carlin as the first recipient followed by Lewis "Harry" Spence. City Hall was demolished, police and fire departments reorganized, public school management was given to Boston University, and the indictment was dropped. Mayor John "Butchie" Brennan and two former mayors were found guilty of federal crime.
Fortunately, Chelsea has no long-term debt held by the public; thus, the solution to its problems can be explored in creditor isolation.
Contemporary revitalization
In the summer of 1995, when the country returned City Hall to the Chelsea people, a new government was born, revived by a group of citizens assigned to draft a new city. The new charter removes the position of the mayor, transforming the city's management from the mayor into a council-managerial governing system, in which a city manager is elected by a member of the City Council. Thus, the city government focuses on improving the quality of services provided to residents and businesses, while establishing financial policies that have significantly improved the city's financial condition. With their leaders more responsible and efficient, Chelsea reversed the long decline and entered a period of population growth and economic development.
In 1998, the City Council's focused efforts gave Chelsea the distinction of being named one of the 10 All-America City Award winners by the National Civic League in recognition of a grassroots approach to problem solving. Since earning that honor, Chelsea have claimed another victory. The city suffered a recession in the early 2000s and emerged with its full finances, pushing the rating of Chelsea bonds improving.
The Chelsea horizon has been changed by the construction of Wyndham Chelsea, built in a place where garbage cars were once abandoned in flames in 1973. Opened in 2001, the hotel chain was the first company to invest heavily in Chelsea. after the curator. The two major shopping centers of the city, Mystic Mall and Chelsea Commons, recently underwent major renovations as well.
On July 28, 2014, a tornado landed in northern Chelsea and headed to neighboring Revere. Although there was relatively little damage in Chelsea, it caused great damage in Revere.

Geography
Located on a small peninsula in Boston Harbor that covers just 2.21 square miles (6 km 2 ), Chelsea is the smallest city in the Massachusetts region. Chelsea are limited on three sides by water, giving the city a unique character. The Mystic River borders Chelsea in the southwest, Chelsea Creek and Mill Creek and End River Islands to the west.
The topography of Chelsea consists mainly of coastal lowlands, punctuated by four drums formed during the last Ice Age. These drumlins are located in the southwest (Admirals Hill), southeast (Mount Bellingham), northeast (Powderhorn Hill) and northwest (Mount Washington). The smaller drumlin (Mill Hill) is located on the east side of Chelsea, adjacent to Mill Creek. This sloping and hilly landscape helps divide the city into a visible environment, each with its own character, giving the city a sense of scale and a manageable orientation.
Environment and district
Despite its small size, there are several different neighborhoods in Chelsea:
Admirals Hill - Admirals Hill stands above ground between the Mystic River and End River Island. Contains the Historic District of the Navy Hospital, the area is largely a residential area that enjoys vast views. On the southern slope of the hill is the site of the historic Chelsea Naval Hospital, with several brick and granite structures that have been converted to other uses. Between the Navy Hospital and the shoreline is Mary O'Malley Park, Chelsea's largest public park.
Addison-Orange Adjacent to the north side of the city center, Addison-Orange neighborhood is residential, flat and densely populated. Washington Avenue runs through this neighborhood.
Bellingham Square - This historic district became a center of commerce and government after the fires of 1908. Design integration was the result of community planning after the Great Fire of 1908. This district included the Town Hall, which was modeled after the Old Independence Hall in Philadelphia , The Public Library and the Chelsea Bunker Hill Community College campus.
Box District - Just over a block from City Hall, this once ravaged neighborhood gained its name from various box manufacturing companies operating in this area since 1903, when the Russell Box Company began operating at the foot of Gerrish Avenue. Abandoned in the 1960s, the area fell into disrepair until it was broadcast again for residential use in the 2000s. It is now the fastest growing part of Chelsea and has enjoyed a building boom since 2005, with municipal homes and multifamily housing complexes proliferating in the area. Kayem Foods headquarters is located here, on the edge of Marginal Street.
Carter Park- Wyndham Area - The environment around Carter Park is a small enclave of mostly Queen Anne single family homes surrounded by commercial and highly commercialized areas. Route 1 looms over the southeast edge of this tree-lined neighborhood, and the Revere Beach Parkway winds along the north bank. The Chelsea High School is in this area, as well as Market Basket, Dockside, Home Goods, T.J. maxx and floramo. Also, the historic Chelsea Clock used to be in this area.
Chelsea Square - This historic district is located in the center of the city, containing the finest and earliest commercial groupings of the mid-19th and early 20th century commercial architecture of the city. The area includes a seaside district (South Broadway neighborhood) with brick houses built in the mid to late 19th century. Third Street is also in the area, and became the Everett Avenue industry. The Chelsea Police Department is located here.
Chelsea Commons - Formerly known as Parkway Plaza, Chelsea Commons sits on a low flat area near the end of Mill Creek. The Plaza consists of a large restaurant, fast food restaurant, and a large apartment building. Bordered by a wetland stretch of land on both sides. Chelsea Commons Park has just recently completed adjacent to this site. Webster Avenue is in this area.
Mill Hill - Most of these residential areas consist mostly of separate two-story and three-story wooden buildings. Covering the smallest city drum, the Mill Hill neighborhood is located on a small neck of land bordered by Chelsea Creek and Mill Creek. This environment is on the Revere line. Eastern Avenue passes through its neighborhood.
Prattville - is the northwestern part of the city. It also borders on Revere, and Everett in the west. Pizza lovers, Newbridge Cafe and Metrop PCS are in this area. Metro Credit Union and McDonald's have a great presence there as well. Next to these chains is another smaller Firefighter Chelsea station. Garfield and Washington Avenues are in Prattville. Route 1 is on the east side of Prattville, and Route 16 is on the south side.
House of Army - The Army House Environment includes the steep slopes and the peak of Powderhorn Hill. This residential area contains some examples of Queen Anne style architecture. The Warrior House is one of the least crowded neighborhoods in the city. At its peak sat the Army House, a large structure that dominated much of this area. However, there are some smaller associated brick structures in the area as well.
Waterfront District - For the first time, Chelsea broke through the heavy industry that piled up along the Chelsea River, and reconnected with the beach. Established to promote the use of water-oriented industry at Forbes Industrial Park and the lower Chelsea Creek waterfront, its use remains industry-specific. Most of the water's edge from the Tobin Bridge to the mouth of Mill Creek is the Designated Port Area (DPA), and Chelsea in the last decade embraced it. The city encourages industry to move, but only if they help to finance the new park by the beach.

Many of these programs are led and managed together with colleagues from the Innovation Field Laboratory of Harvard Kennedy School. According to Chelsea's "City Cities" report, "this partnership allows the city to take advantage of the questions and advice of international and domestic international graduate students."
This data analysis program has played a very helpful role in the city's efforts to "revitalize" the downtown area around Bellingham Square through the "Re-Imagining Broadway" initiative. In 2016, the City Council approved a $ 5.2 million grant for infrastructure improvements in the district. The project has been supported by a newly hired Central Coordinator and aims to engage local people and businesses in a collective effort to promote economic prosperity and quality of life in the district.
