Danvers, Massachusetts, was named after a local landowner, Joseph Danvers, who was an influential figure in the area during the 17th century. The town was originally part of Salem and was known as Salem Village, famous for its association with the Salem witch trials. In 1752, it was incorporated as a separate town and adopted the name Danvers to honor Joseph Danvers. The name reflects both the town's history and its connection to early colonial landowners.
