History

Again the desire for more local control resulted in Revere and Winthrop seceding from Chelsea in 1846 to become North Chelsea. Winthrop has a weekly newspaper, the 'Winthrop Sun Transcript', which reports local news, current events, happenings, and concerns. In 1920, Winthrop was the second town in the Commonwealth to apply for and receive a Charter for a Representative Town Meeting, which continued to 2006. Originally part of an area called Winnesimmet by the Native Americans in the United States Americans, the peninsula was annexed by Boston in 1632 and within five years became the grazing area for farm animals of the rapidly growing Boston colony. Today the island is home to the mammoth Deer Island Waste Water Treatment Plant, which provides sewage treatment for the Boston area. Winthrop includes Snake Island (Massachusetts) Island in Boston Harbor as well as a portion of Logan Airport.
