The events which led to the Witch Trials actually occurred in what is now the town of Danvers, then a parish of Salem Town, known as Salem Village. Launching the hysteria was the bizarre, seemingly inexplicable behavior of two young girls; the daughter, Betty, and the niece, Abigail Williams, of the Salem Village minister, Reverend Samuel Parris.

A large majority of the accused in the Salem Witch Trials lived in 'Salem Village', which is now Danvers.
Salem Village ALSO included Peabody and today's Salem, parts of Beverly, as well as, Middleton, Topsfield, Wenham and Manchester-by-the-Sea.

I believe that Salem Village and Salem Town merged to form Salem, Ma. All of the accusers were from one and all of the victims were from the other. Merging helped to heal the divisions among them.

Salem, MA, is still there, just as it always has been. You're probably thinking of Danvers, MA, located near Salem.
