West Roxbury MA Community Profile & History
West Roxbury, Massachusetts is one of Boston's most affluent neighborhoods. Boston is a diverse modern city that benefits from exceptional medical care, a population with one of the highest levels of education in the country, good schools-becoming even better thanks to a rigorous five year reform plan, a vibrant network of parks and community centers, a library system with 16 branches, and a plethora of top notch neighborhood businesses and amenities.
Founded in 1630, West Roxbury was originally part of the town of Roxbury. In early years, the lands that now comprise the neighborhood were used primarily for farmland. West Roxbury formed its own government in 1851 and was annexed by Boston in 1874. Bordered by Roslindale and Hyde Park, the community’s main thoroughfare is Centre Street, lined with local restaurants and commercial establishments.
Today, the neighborhood’s tree-lined streets and mostly single family homes give it a suburban feel in an urban setting. Life in the neighborhood centers around political and civic activism as well as local parishes and youth athletic leagues. The community also contains numerous historic sites, including Brook Farm, a utopian commune founded by Transcendentalist leader George Ripley in 1841; the Westerly Burial Ground, established in 1683 and home to the graves of eight veterans of the American Revolution and sixteen veterans of the Civil War; and the Roxbury Latin School, established in 1645 and now the oldest school in continuous operation in North America.
