First settled by a party including Captain Wollaston in 1625,
Quincy was originally part of the neighboring town of Braintree.
Her famous early residents included presidents John Adams and John
Quincy Adams, Josiah Quincy and John Hancock. In 1792, the north
precinct of Braintree became the town of Quincy, with residents
opting to name the new town after Col. John Quincy, grandfather of
Abigail Adams.
Today, visitors to Quincy can tour the birthplaces of both John
Adams and John Quincy Adams as well as the Adams Mansion, the
Summer White House for both presidents. Other historic sites
include United First Parish Church, where both Adams presidents and
their wives are buried and the Dorothy Quincy Homestead, the
childhood home of John Hancock's wife, Dorothy Quincy.
