Facts about the city

Charlestown is the oldest neighborhood in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Originally called Mishawum by the Native Americans, it is located on a peninsula north of the Charles River, across from downtown Boston, and also adjoins the Mystic River and Boston Harbor. Charlestown was laid out in 1629 by engineer Thomas Graves, one of its early settlers, in the reign of Charles I of England. It was originally a separate town and the first capital of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Charlestown became a city in 1848 and was annexed by Boston on January 5, 1874. With that, it also switched from Middlesex County, where it had been located since 1643, to Suffolk County. It has had a substantial Irish American population since the migration of Irish people during the Great Irish Famine of the 1840s. Since the late 1980s the neighborhood has changed dramatically because of its proximity to downtown and its colonial architecture. A mix of Yuppie and Upper-middle class gentrification has overtaken much of the area, as it has in many of Boston's neighborhoods, but Charlestown still maintains a strong Irish American population and "Townie" identity.

History
Thomas Walford, acting as an interpreter with the Massachusetts Indians, negotiated with the local Sachem Wonohaquaham for Endicott and his people to settle there. Charlestown's McLaughlin Brothers were involved in a gang war with neighboring Somerville, Massachusetts Winter Hill Gang, during the Irish Mob Wars of the 1960s. In the late 1990s, additional gentrification took place, similar to that in neighboring Somerville. The territory of Charlestown originally included what is now Stoneham, Massachusetts (until 1725), Somerville, Massachusetts (until 1842), Medford, Massachusetts Malden, Massachusetts Everett, Massachusetts Woburn, Massachusetts Burlington, Massachusetts and parts of Arlington, Massachusetts and Cambridge, Massachusetts On June 17, 1775 the Charlestown Peninsula was the site of the Battle of Bunker Hill. Drawn to its proximity to downtown and its colonial, red-brick, row-house housing stock, similar to that of Beacon Hill, Boston, Massachusetts Hill, many upper-middle class professionals moved to the neighborhood.
