Allston (Boston) MA Community Profile & History
Allston, Massachusetts is a thriving mecca of activity. Largely populated by students and young families, Allston caters to the individual looking for something different and affordable. It's hard to turn a corner in this neighborhood without running into a discount furniture or thrift store. At the same time, the neighborhood is noted as the home of Harvard Business School and the 30,000-seat Harvard Stadium, which draws huge crowds to collegiate matches during football season.
Originally settled as the eastern section of the town of Brighton, the community was annexed along with its western neighbor by the city of Boston in 1874. By the turn of the century, a major urban settlement had developed around the Boston and Albany Railroad yard, and for much of the 20th century the community served as a major retail center for the automobile industry.
In recent decades, the neighborhood has spawned a thriving music scene, with a host of pubs, cafes, restaurants, bars and nightclubs supporting the area's vibrant nightlife. Allston's Harvard Ave. boasts everything from upscale eateries and pool halls to local dives and mom-and-pop grocery stores.
