Revere was not incorporated until 1915, but Europeans began settling here in 1630. They had peaceful relations with the local Native Americans, who taught them how to survive in the often harsh environment.
Revere was originally called Rumney Marsh, and in 1846, it became known as North Chelsea. The city's current name, adopted in 1871, pays tribute to American Revolutionary War patriot Paul Revere.
Modern-day Revere is a small city with more than 52,000 residents. More than one-quarter of these locals were not born in the United States. Immigrants from Northern Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe all call Revere home. The city's multicultural population helps make Revere a dynamic and exciting place to live and visit.
When should you visit Revere, MA?
Revere enjoys its best weather between June and October. The summer months have more temperate conditions than in many parts of the country. Average top temperatures in the high 70s Fahrenheit are ideal for sightseeing and participating in local events, including the Revere Beach Sand Sculpting Festival and Fourth of July celebrations. Many families take advantage of the extended school break, so be prepared to pay more for accommodations from June to August.
Visitation numbers drop during September and October, although the temperatures don't fall too dramatically. Expect average daily highs in the low 60s and low 70s, which is still warm enough to enjoy yourself. Don't expect a significant price drop until November, a time when fall weather turns cold.
For a bargain in favorable conditions, consider traveling in early spring. While the winter's cold may still linger, the city is beautiful with flowers blooming everywhere you turn. When you dress in layers, you won't mind the nip in the air.

Established in 1895, Revere Beach is the nation's oldest public beach. Known as “the people's beach,” this sandy shorefront has long been popular with the working class, immigrants, and tourists. Renovations in the 1980s have helped restore the area around the beach to its former glory. On hot summer days, you can see more than 250,000 sunseekers enjoying this coastal hot spot.
Learn more about Revere at its past at the Revere Society for Cultural and Historic Preservation's museum.

The museum's building, a former Catholic rectory built in the Colonial Revival style, adds some history to this must-see attraction. While admission is free, donations are greatly received to keep the Revere Society for Cultural and Historic Preservation alive.
Belle Isle Marsh Reservation, located on Revere's outskirts, helps visitors reconnect with nature. It's the last salt marsh left in the Boston metro area, a natural habitat for many plant and animal species. Pathways through 28 acres help you explore without disturbing the natural habitat. The views from the observation tower are something special.
Fast-food establishments are not normally considered attractions, but Kelly's Roast Beef is no standard eatery. Established in 1951, this restaurant claims it invented the modern roast beef sandwich.

Liquor store and small grocery withn walking distance, not far from airport, very convenient shuttle to airport. I would stay here again. Tucked away in a safe residential neighborhood with police surveilance at night. Modest, clean and so affordable (1/2 the rate of other options) for a hotel so close to the airport.
