Newburyport is a town in Essex County, Massachusetts.
Geography[]
Newburyport is bordered by the Lower Green and Parker River beyond which is the sea. The coastal highway to Rowley and Ipswich passes Plum Island and a desolate patch of land exposed to the sand by deforestation in 1846. Despite humans being responsible for the deforestation, the locals believed the desolation to be connected to the great evil behind the Innsmouth plague that same year.
Innsmouth is an hour's bus ride down the coast.
Residents[]
