Charlestown, Historic neighborhood in Boston, United States
Charlestown sits on a peninsula between the Mystic and Charles Rivers, featuring brick row houses, townhouses, and waterfront properties across its streets.
Founded in 1628, this district served as a crucial location during the American Revolutionary War and witnessed the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775.
The Warren Tavern, established in 1780, continues to operate as a gathering space where residents maintain local traditions and share community news.
The neighborhood connects to downtown Boston through two Orange Line stations and a ferry service from the Navy Yard to Long Wharf.
The USS Constitution, stationed at Charlestown Navy Yard, holds the distinction of being the oldest commissioned warship still floating in the world.
