woodland area north of the Mystic River, was settled by Puritans in
1640 on land purchased in 1629 from the Pennacook tribe. The area was
originally called the "Mistick Side" and was a part of Charlestown. It
was incorporated as a separate town in 1649. The name Malden was
selected by Joseph Hills, an early settler and landholder, and was
named after Maldon, England. The city originally included what are now
the adjacent cities of Melrose (until 1850) and Everett (until
1870).At the time of the American Revolution, the population was at
about 1,000 people, and the citizens were involved early in resisting
British rule: they boycotted the consumption of tea in 1770 to protest
the Revenue Act of 1766, and it was also the first town to petition
the colonial government to secede from the British Empire. Malden, Massachusetts Top Movies & Young Movies
