Boston was officially founded in 1630, although settlements took root there in the early 1620s. 1625 Rev. William Blackstone (Blaxton) same person. 1630 John Winthop and Salem puritans. A monument in Boston Common commemorates the founding. It is located on the north side of the common, along Beacon (and Spruce) Street. Incidentally, a fishing weir was found in on Newbury st. carbon dated to 6,000 years ago.
Boston was founded by wayward Puritans, who - for whatever resons - sought to get away from Plymouth. The Reverend William Blackstone was the first to settle there, building a house on what is now Beacon Hill - one of three hills that made up the Boston area - in 1624. Blackstone is also considered to be the first Christian to settle in Rhode Island. Keep in mind that this was a much thinner piece of land, as much of modern Boston lies on recently-placed landfill. Puritan settlers of the Massacusetts Bay Colony, who were on the less receptive Mishawum(Charlestown) Peninsula, eventually crossed the river and joined Blackstone's growing settlement. This was the basis of Modern Boston.
Beacon Hill was originally three hills(thus the word Tremont), two of which were leveled for real estate purposes by industrious men. One was used to fill in "the Back Bay," and the other was leveled to fill in what is now known as Charles Street at the foot of Beacon Hill, preventing the Crarles River from further encroachment. More importantly, the fill was also used to level the "West End" area and provide a stable footing for the North Station - where textiles from the City of Lowell could finally reach Boston by train. Mr. Lowell bbbuilt his first textile mill on the Charles River in the city of Waltham, but soon found more water power was needed. Investors bought a vast amount of land at the confluence of the Merrimack and Nashua Rivers, designed and built their city of canals, mills, bridges and the City was named after Lowell shortly after his passing. The Middlesex Canal had been dug from Boston to Lowell before the advent of trains, with horses pulling barges. Extremely inefficient and costly, this was used for perhaps a decade before the demolition of Trimount - leaving only Beacon Hill.
The original person was Rev. Blackstone, who came from Weymouth to get away from a failed settlement. They moved to Shawmut Peninsula which has fresh water. Shawmut is an Algonquin word for "living waters." Boston was originally connected to the mainland by a small strip of land, frequently covered by water and impassible. Boston proper was and is facing the Atlantic Ocean, and the various elevations provided the settlers with an advantage if attacked by sea. Also, Boston Harbor has many large and small islands, which provided places for lookouts, forts, as well as farming. All were important reasons why they settled there. The connecting strip of land was first named Orange Street, later to be renamed Washington Street in honor of George. Both the Back Bay, but first the South End were filled in to make room for a growing populace.
