      I was born in Quincy City Hospital in 1956. We lived in Weymouth until I was ten, then headed to the Midwest. I’m always nostalgic for the New England vibe.

    Hey there. The Adams President’s, and John Hancock, where actually born in Braintree. The city then changed. So, they were born in Braintree. Glad that you mentioned it.

    The city of Quincy was called Braintree when the Adams presidents lived there. Braintree was then then split up and the section next to Milton and Dorchester was renamed to Quincy. So, technically they were born in Braintree, but the house is in the same spot on Adams Street that it always has been.

    Quincy is a coastal U.S. city in Norfolk County, Massachusetts, United States.
    It is the largest city in the county and a part of Metropolitan Boston as one of Boston's immediate southern suburbs.
    Its population in 2020 was 101,636, making it the seventh-largest city in the state.
    Known as the "City of Presidents", Quincy is the birthplace of two U.S. presidents-John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams - as well as John Hancock (a President of the Continental Congress and the first signer of the Declaration of Independence) and the first and third Governor of Massachusetts.
    First settled in 1625, Quincy was briefly part of Dorchester before becoming the north precinct of Braintree in 1640.
    In 1792, Quincy was split off from Braintree; the new town was named after Colonel John Quincy, maternal grandfather of Abigail Adams and after whom John Quincy Adams was also named.
    Quincy became a city in 1888.
    For more than a century, Quincy was home to a thriving granite industry; the city was also the site of the Granite Railway, the United States' first commercial railroad.
    Shipbuilding at the Fore River Shipyard was another key part of the city's economy.
    In the 20th century, both Howard Johnson's and Dunkin' Donuts were founded in the city.

    There's so much early US history in Quincy, MA! 27:00 It was quite interesting to see the original Dunkin' Donuts location and their logo is completely different than their current one. It was good timing for you to see the Christmas lights all lit up at the Quincy City Hall area, and that was such a treat to watch. What a perfect moment to conclude this video! 🤩🎄 Thank you so much for this informative Christmas walk, AK! 🤗

    Great video, loved it. This is obviously a suburb to a much bigger city than where I live, but it sort of reminds me of my home Green Bay Wisconsin. It's just shows me that I need to get out and hit the streets and actually walk on the sidewalks and streets that I drive by everyday.

    You are actually in the county of presidents, Norfolk County. The 2 Adams presidents, father and son. Next town over is Milton and George Herbert Walker Bush was born there. A little further over is the town of Brookline and President John F. Kennedy was born there. I believe it was Beal Street, Brookline.
