Hull MA Community Profile & History
Hull, Massachusetts was established in 1644, and was at that time a fishing and trading town with a small population of hardy souls. Nestled on a narrow peninsula jutting into the Atlantic Ocean across from Boston Harbor, the town served as a strategic outpost for the colonial army during the American Revolutionary War. Fort Independence was built on Castle Island in 1776 to help defend the harbor from British attack. Now preserved as a state park, the fort offers guided tours in the summer.
The town's magnificent beaches, easy access to Boston and sea air brought hordes of visitors and by 1840 steamers were making three trips a day between Boston and Hull. Boarding houses and elaborate hotels catered to visitors while fishermen and farmers still pulled nets and sowed seeds in the rural areas of town. At the center of all this activity was pristine Nantasket Beach, still considered one of the finest beaches in New England. At low tide, acres of tide pools form along the shore. The downtown area surrounding the beach was once home to Paragon Park, an amusement park with a Ferris wheel, bumper cars and a roller coaster among other rides; while the park closed in the 1980's, its historic carousel and clock tower still stand along the boardwalk.
Another era began as the community acquired a suburban character, with a growing number of professionals moving into town, drawn by the same beaches, proximity to Boston and sea air that attracted vacationers in the 19th century. Still a popular destination for tourists and summer residents, this scenic seaside community is now a bustling commuter town with some of the region's most desirable real estate. Attractions include Fort Revere Park, perched atop Telegraph Hill and featuring an observation tower with spectacular views of Boston Harbor; the Lifesaving Museum, which offers exhibits and educational programs about the town's maritime and lifesaving traditions; and Peddocks Island, formerly the site of Fort Andrews and featuring a freshwater marsh. Annual festivities include the Endless Summer Waterfront Festival, with live entertainment, local art exhibitions, fine cuisine from dozens of local restaurants, a fireworks show and a variety of fun contests.
