The City of Quincy is located on the eastern coast of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts just minutes south of Boston. Located in Norfolk County, it is called the "City of Presidents" and "Birthplace of the American Dream". U.S. Presidents, John Adams and his son, John Quincy Adams were born in this city. Quincy reminds people of its exciting past as it looks forward to a fascinating future.
The city is bordered by the towns of Weymouth to the east, Braintree and Randolph to the south, Milton to the west and Boston to the north. Highways 93 intersect the City, as does the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Red Line Subway and Old Colony Commuter Line to Boston.
