I put in that Ex-Residents are allowed beach stickers too. And I wasn't sure if it should be mentioned West Beach is open to the public during the winter. I can vouch for both of these, as I'm a beverly farms resident.

Good ideas. (I am a Cove resident, Beverly Farms ex-resident.) June-gloom 00:21, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Prince Street

[edit]

How could Beverly Farms be bounded by Prince Street on the south? It's bounded by the ocean on the south; Prince Street is not particularly near Beverly Farms; and it's a small street that runs north–south and doesn't seem like it could be the southern boundary of anything.

It is accurate. Prince Street was part of the original Beverly Farms. Snippet of relevant point below. For full article go here [1]
The early beginnings of Beverly Farms stem directly from the determination and leadership of the five planters, Conant, Balch, Trask, Woodberry, and Palfrey. They settled a territory called the Naumkeag, and the Agawam. Invited by the Indians who sought protection, the new settlers found a land of promise. William Woodberry, the brother of Thomas Woodberry, one of the five planters, built the first house in Beverly Farms in 1630 located on Prince Street[3].

The cited source indicates that Prince Street is part of Beverly Farms; it doesn't suggest that Beverly Farms is "bounded by Prince Street on the south". Again, Prince Street is a street that runs north-south; it's not capable of "bounding" anything to the South. Beverly Farms is bounded on the south by the Atlantic Ocean. Perhaps it bounds Beverly Farms on the west? AJD (talk) 19:43, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
