Excerpt from The North End: A Survey and a Comprehensive Plan; Report of the City Planning Board, Boston, Mass The area devoted to residences at the present time is nearly identical with that described by the original shore line. Although this area has been greatly extended by filling, thus allowing for the expansion of the residential district for a time, the boundaries of the housing section have been in recent years, and continue to be to a pertain extent, forced back by the encroachment of commercial interests. How far this will continue cannot be deter mined, but the character of occupancy of the district at the present time, and the rate of change in the last half century, do not suggest any very material changes in the near future. Originally the North End was a peninsula, but with the construction of the canal through the Neck, following the line of Blackstone street, an island was formed of about 6331, acres. With the filling in of the canal and flats, this area was increased to practically 100 acres, of which nearly 70 acres are devoted to residential purposes. The remainder, on the south and east Sides of the district, adjacent to the market and the business sections, especially along Fulton street, is largely devoted to industries and has never been used for residential purposes.

Before evolving into a thriving "Little Italy," Boston's North End saw a tangled parade of military, religious and cultural change. Home to prominent historical figures such as Paul Revere, this neighborhood also played host to Samuel Adams and the North End Caucus--which masterminded the infamous Boston Tea Party--as well as the city's first African-American church. From the Boston Massacre to Revere's heroic ride, the North End embodies almost four centuries of strife and celebration, international influence and true American spirit. A small but storied stretch of land, the North End remains the oldest neighborhood in one of the country's most historic cities.
