East Boston, Residential neighborhood in Boston, US
East Boston stretches along Boston Harbor, connecting five former islands through landfill and featuring waterfront parks, residential areas, and Logan International Airport.
The neighborhood emerged in 1836 when five Boston Harbor islands were connected through landfill, establishing a maritime industrial center for shipbuilding activities.
The area transformed from an Italian stronghold in the mid-20th century to a Latino center, with numerous South and Central American restaurants reflecting this demographic shift.
Transportation options include the Blue Line subway with stations at Maverick, Airport, Wood Island, Orient Heights, and Suffolk Downs, plus Silver Line 3 connections.
The ICA Watershed occupies a former copper pipe facility in Boston Harbor Shipyard, presenting seasonal contemporary art exhibitions in an industrial setting.
