Quincy, Massachusetts was established as a town in 1792 and as a city in 1888. It is known as the City of Presidents by non-residents and a vigorous urban commercial and business center by residents. The original rural agricultural economy was replaced by fishing and then shipbuilding and granite quarrying. The Quincy quarries provided the granite for the Bunker Hill Monument among other famous structures. The Fore River shipyard built and launched many of the merchant and naval ships that sailed the world's oceans until long past World War II.
