NORTH END - BOSTON, MA



North End is a neighborhood in Boston, Massachusetts. Boston's North End is the city's oldest residential community, where people have lived continuously since it was settled in the 1630s. The North End has always been a European community. For decades, immigrants from Europe have found a home here - just beyond the docks and just down the winding streets that followed the curve of the ever expanding shoreline. First the Irish, then the Jews, today the Italians. Today the North End is populated by a mixture of Italian Americans and young professionals who are attracted to the neighborhood's tight-knit feel and access to downtown.

If Boston is the most European of American cities, then the North End is Boston's most European of neighborhoods. Walk along its narrow, curving streets and catch quick glances of hidden courtyards and flower-bedecked fire escapes.

Although the North End is part of Boston's original area of settlement, the bulk of the architecture one sees there today dates from the late nineteenth to early 20th centuries (tenement architecture is especially prominent). The neighborhood has a mixture of architecture from all periods of American history, including early structures such as the Old North Church (1723), the Paul Revere House (1680), the Pierce-Hichborn House (1711), and the Clough House (1712). The Copp's Hill burial ground (1660) is one of America's oldest cemeteries and contains many graves dating back to the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries including Puritan divines Cotton and Increase Mather and Prince Hall, founder of Prince Hall Freemasonry. The Freedom Trail passes through the North End, making official stops at Paul Revere's house and Old North church.

The North End is famous for its selection of bakeries, eateries and Old-world feeling. The North End also offers access to Boston's waterfront along Commercial Street. Residents and visitors can enjoy strolling and relaxing in the newly renovated Christopher Columbus Park, and during summer evenings the park is host to a performing arts series. In this 1/3 mile-squared-sized neighborhood, there are approximately 100 eating establishments.
