Charlestown (Boston) MA Community Profile & History

Charlestown, Massachusetts is one of Boston's oldest and most storied neighborhoods. A living tapestry of American history, Charlestown is perhaps best known as the home of the historic Bunker Hill monument and the U.S.S. Constitution - or "Old Ironsides", the oldest commissioned floating ship in the world. Situated on a penisula between the Charles River and the Mystic River, the neighborhood was founded as an independent city by the Puritans in 1628. Settled the following year, the territory originally included land that comprises the modern cities of Stoneham, Somerville, Medford, Malden, Everett, Woburn, Burlington, and parts of Arlington and Cambridge. In 1775, the city made history as the site of the Battle of Bunker Hill, one of the first major conflicts of the American Revolutionary War. The historic battle was forever memorialized by the 220-foot Bunker Hill Monument, erected in 1825 and still towering atop the penisula today.

Annexed by the city of Boston in 1873, the contemporary neighborhood developed around the now-decommissioned Navy Yard and has experienced dramatic shifts in population and industry over the past several decades. The Navy Yard, a national historic landmark, has been converted to residential and office space, and an increasing number of young professionals are joining the families who have lived in the area for years. These newcomers are discovering the neighborhood's renovated rowhouses and its accessibility to downtown Boston and the North End. Many residents walk to work in downtown or simply down to the nearby waterfront, both of which are only five minutes away.
