built 617 days ago
The town of Ipswich is located in Essex County in northeastern Massachusetts, about 30 miles northeast of Boston. Hamilton borders Ipswich to the south, Rowley to the north, Essex to the east, and Topsfield and Boxford to the west. Ipswich is a traditional New England town with a highly developed "town center" surrounded by rural landscape and residential neighborhoods.

Ipswich is one of England's oldest towns,[2][3] and took shape in Anglo-Saxon times as the main centre between York and London for North Sea trade to Scandinavia and the Rhine. It served the Kingdom of East Anglia, and began developing in the time of King Rædwald, supreme ruler of the English (616-624). The famous ship-burial and treasure at Sutton Hoo nearby is probably his grave.
