Before Everett became an independent town, it belonged to the neighbor of the north, Malden. At the time of the American Revolution, Malden’s population was around 1,000 people, and everybody was heavily involved in resisting British rule.
In 1770, the townsfolk boycotted tea to protest the Revenue Act of 1766, officially becoming the first town to secede from the British Empire.
Today, Everett has a growing population of nearly 42,000 residents. Each year, more and more people move to the Everett area because of its simple commute to downtown Boston. Because of this, Everett offers suburban and close-to-city life living along the coast without high prices that typically come with living outside of busy metro areas.
Although Everett is an overall affordable and beautiful coastal city, its residents are all too familiar with unwanted pests like mosquitos, rodents, termites—and much more.
