Lawrence did not grow by accident. The Essex Company planned it around the Great Stone Dam, dug a power canal on each bank of the Merrimack and built mills to suit, and the city took its name from Abbott Lawrence, one of the men behind the venture. Generations of newcomers followed the work, which is how the place came to be nicknamed the Immigrant City. The wool trade is long gone, and mill buildings along the river have been turned toward commercial, residential and education uses. People are still starting things here. If you run a small business in Lawrence, I keep its books in order so the effort you put in shows up in the numbers.

Essex Street is the city's historic shopping street. Every Labor Day weekend the Feast of the Three Saints fills Common Street, with a procession that first walked in 1923, and Semana Hispana brings its own week of celebration. Tower Hill rises in the northwest corner and Prospect Hill in the northeast, South Lawrence sits on the other bank, and four road bridges tie the halves together. Robert Frost spent his early school years here. Atkinson is roughly ten miles north of Lawrence, beyond Methuen and the state border.
