Topsfield lies approximately at the center of Essex County which in turn lies in the Northeast Corner of the Bay State. Topsfield is a fairly compact town of thirteen square miles. It has acres of rolling hills and winding streams, with some of the highest land in Essex County.  It is best known for hosting the oldest agricultual fair in American history, the Topsfield Fair established in 1818.

In addition to the Village Shopping Center, there are other small businesses located principally along Route 1. However, Topsfield remains primarily a residential community with a population of approximately 5,700.

The town retains a rural character as depicted by the town hall above and its picturesque New England Town Common below.  You can also learn more about Topsfield by reviewing recent Census data.
