Methuen Massachusetts Information and Highlights
Methuen is a city in Essex County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 47,255 at the 2010 census. Historically, Methuen had a town meeting-selectmen form of government and was known as the Town of Methuen until it adopted a charter replacing its traditional town meeting and selectmen with a council and manager. Even with a form of government that had historically and legally been exclusive to cities, the community, in a gesture of traditionalism, retained the name Town of Methuen in its charter. However, because Massachusetts cities have self-governing powers not available to towns, it became known for legal purposes as "The City Known as the Town of Methuen." A subsequent charter, which adopted a strong mayor form of government, officially changed the community name to the "City of Methuen."
History
Methuen was first settled in 1642 and was officially incorporated in 1726. Methuen was originally part of Haverhill, Massachusetts. In 1724, Stephen Barker and others in the western part of that town petitioned the General Court to grant them permission to form a new town above Hawke's Meadow Brook. Although opposed by their fellow townsmen, the petition was approved the following year (Dec. 8, 1725), and the General Court gave them an act of incorporation under the name of Methuen. The town was named for Sir Paul Methuen, a member of the King's Privy Council and friend of acting Provincial Governor William Dummer. The first town meeting was held March 9, 1726.
Industrial growth in the 1800s influenced Methuen's development. Construction of the Methuen Cotton Mills at the Spicket River falls in the 1820s and the increased manufacture of hats and shoes in small factories along the Spicket spurred the centralization of Methuen's economic, residential and cultural activities within the area around Osgood, Broadway, Hampshire and Pleasant streets. Three wealthy and prominent families—the Nevins, the Tenneys and the Searles—played a significant role in Methuen's history and development. These families were instrumental in the founding of many of Methuen's landmarks, including the Nevins Memorial Library, the Searles building, Tenney Gatehouse, Nevins Home, Spicket Falls, and the Civil War monument between Pleasant and Charles streets.

What makes Susan Sells the best possible choice
when you want to sell your property in Andover?
Thank you so much. More than that, we could not have imagined selling the house would be so much work after 40 years nor could we have dreamt the process would go so smoothly with you on our side. It’s been a long journey (and a long winter) but you’re a very special person and that comes through with your work. You have a plan from early on and every step of the way so that we felt looked after and got the results we wanted; even better! Everything you did was with our interests and goals in mind and you know who to call whether it’s photographs, mopping the floors, or outstanding promotional pieces.

Susan delivered on 100% of what she promised during our initialinterview. Her knowledge of the current market conditions andno-nonsense, down to earth approach made her the clearchoice out of all the agents we met with.Her experience and creativity was evident in her marketing plan,staging of the house and MLS listing. They ultimately attracteddozens of prospective buyers, leading to a quick sale (less than1 week) at above list price to a couple that absolutely loved thehome.Susan also guided us through a family crisis during the sale (adebilitating medical condition suffered by my sister/half-owner),helping us to navigate around any obstacles in our path. I would not hesitate to recommend Susan and her team. Theyare a group of consummate professionals who go the extra mileto understand the needs of their clients and deliver upon theirpromises. We had a great sales experience and couldn't havebeen any more satisfied with the results.Thank you, Susan! Steve Tatarunis
We had previous experience with another broker that made us weary of going on the market again. Susan
listened to our needs and addressed them. We feel she provided us with service customized to meet our
particular circumstance and she sold our home in an astounding six days. What a relief it was to work with a
capable, consummate professional who cared about our home and our family.
Susan was patient and clear throughout marketing period. She protected our interests and made certain we
understood each aspect of the sales process.
Susan always responded to calls and emails immediately. She listened to our every concern, no matter how
trivial. Susan also guided us toward the best outcome for our investment.
The administrative staff, photographer, stager, other agents and all members of Susan's team were
supportive, helpful and informative. They assisted in putting our property in its best light and assured that
closing was a seamless and smooth process.
Susan Rochwarg is a superstar among her peers. I'm so proud of myself for choosing her to sell my home!!
