During the colonial era, the area that would become East Boston was comprised of five islands in Boston Harbor–Noddle’s, Apple, Governor’s, Bird, and Hog Islands. Samuel Maverick was the first European settler on Noddle’s Island in 1633, but it would be another two hundred years before major development and landfilling began. In 1833 General William Sumner founded the East Boston Trade Company, which began filling the swamps, building wharves, and developing a railroad freight terminal. In 1836, the city of Boston annexed East Boston–or Eastie, as locals later called it–and new industries sprung up, including a sugar refinery, an iron forgery, a timber company, and numerous shipbuilders.

Jefferies Point is rapidly gentrifying, so it's an interesting place to visit. Specifically, go to Piers Park and you will be able to see all of Boston- from the North End, through the Financial District to South Boston. You can also go the the area near the Hyatt Boston Harbor Hotel to get a water taxi to the city if you are up for a little adventure (One if by land... Two if I by see... )

East Boston, or “Eastie,” has a unique charm that blends its maritime history with a vibrant, diverse community. Here’s what travelers should know: Vibe: It’s a residential area with a laid-back, neighborhood feel, but it’s also up-and-coming with new restaurants and waterfront developments. You’ll hear a mix of languages—English, Spanish, and more—reflecting its diverse population. Location: Situated across the harbor from downtown Boston, it’s connected by tunnels (like the Ted Williams Tunnel) and bridges, making it super close to Logan International Airport (just a 5-minute ride) and downtown (10-15 minutes by T). Safety: East Boston is generally safe, but like any urban area, travelers should stay aware, especially at night. Stick to well-lit areas and use common sense. Accessibility: The Blue Line T stop at Maverick is a short walk, and there’s street parking (watch for resident-only signs). It’s walkable to many local spots, but bikes or scooters are great for longer jaunts.

You will find an abundant of dining options in this neighborhood. Where we are located, anyplace you would want to go to is within walking distance. It’s a small neighborhood located on the harbor and a quick drive, ferry, or train stop away to downtown Boston.
