Henry I n 2026 the City of Revere will mark three historic milestones which converge in our history: fi rst, the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776; second, the 180th anniversary of the founding of the Town of North Chelsea, (now Revere and Winthrop), in1846; and third; the 60th anniversary of the resumption of the Mayor-City Council form of local government in Revere in 1966. Leading up to our Declaration of Independence from Great Britain in 1776 members of our local militia were a part of the initial provincial army that participated in numerous early battles of the American Revolutionary War, including the Battle of Monotony (now Arlington), which was an important battle and part of the Battle of Lexington and Concord, in April of 1775; and the Battle of Chelsea Creek which took place in Chelsea Creek and in our adjoining marshlands in May of 1775.

The fi rst Town Meeting of North Chelsea took place in April of 1846 and voted to approve the 1846 town budget expenses in the amount of $2,500 dollars. The Town of North Chelsea’s name was changed in honor of Paul Revere in 1871 and became a city in 1915; the 1846 incorporation represents the 180th anniversary of the formal birth of our community as an independent political entity within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It also serves as a reminder of our shared roots with the Town of Chelsea and Pullen Point (which later split off from North Chelsea in 1852 to become the Town of Winthrop).
