Government

Historically, Methuen had a town meeting-selectmen form of government and was known as the Town of Methuen until it adopted a charter replacing its traditional town meeting and selectmen with a council and manager. Even with a form of government that had historically and legally been exclusive to cities, the community, in a gesture of traditionalism, retained the name Town of Methuen in its charter. However, because Massachusetts cities have self-governing powers not available to towns, it became known for legal purposes as "The City Known as the Town of Methuen." A subsequent charter, which adopted a strong mayor form of government, styled the community as the "City of Methuen."

Methuen's city government currently consists of a Mayor, three Councilors-at-Large, two East District Councilors, two Central District Councilors, two West District Councilors, and six School Committee members.

• The current mayor of Methuen is William M. Manzi, III.
• The current At-Large City Councilors are Kathleen Corey Rahme, Kenneth R. Willette, Jr., and Stephen N. Zanni.
• The current Central District City Councilors are John A. Cronin, Jr., and Philip J. Lahey, Jr.
• The current East District City Councilors are Larry F. Giordano and Joseph A. Leone, III.
• The current West District City Councilors are Robert A. Andrew and Deborah R. Quinn.

Notable residents

• Robert Rogers, 1731-1795, founder of Rogers' Rangers. The U.S. Army Rangers claim him as their founder and "Rogers' Rules of Ranging" and "Rules of Discipline" are still taught at West Point. He operated in the area that is now New England and South Eastern Canada and developed the basis of modern special forces tactics. During the French and Indian War, Rogers' Rangers specialized in reconnaissance and deep penetrating raids into enemy territory. Mental and physical toughness, discipline and courage were highly valued and regularly displayed by all rangers. Rogers participation in the French and Indian War and his later life are depicted in the novel Northwest Passage by Kenneth Roberts. The first half of the novel was made into a movie staring Spencer Tracy. A more recent book about Rogers is White Devil - A True Story of War, Savagery, and Vengeance in Colonial America, by Steven Brumwell (ISBN 0-306-81389-0, Da Capo Books, 2005). The Methuen High School sports teams are called the "Rangers", in honor of Robert Rogers and Rogers' Rangers. A marker at the corner of Hampshire and Cross Streets marks the location of the Rogers' homestead.

• Edward Francis Searles 1841-1920 was philanthropist, and an interior and architectural designer. Searles was born on July 4, 1841, in Methuen, MA to Jesse Gould Searles 1805-1844 and Sarah Littlefield Searles. His father worked in a local cotton mill and operated a small farm. In 1887 Searles married Mary Frances Sherwood Hopkins, a widow and heiress 22 years his senior, who was a one quarter owner of the Central Pacific Railroad resulting from her marriage to Mark Hopkins. After her death in 1891 Searles, at 50 years old, was left with his wife's vast real estate holdings and $21 million. Many Methuen landmarks, including City Hall, bear his name. A stone wall stretches over the town and marks that land that Searles owned. His estated has been converted to Presentation of Mary Academy, an all-girls high school that offers college preparatory, honors, and advanced placement(college-level) courses. The Searles estate also includes a pond and the Presentation of Mary sister's residence.
