Bordered by Boston Harbor and the Mystic River, Charlestown is the city's oldest neighborhood and wears its credentials with pride. The neighborhood was originally laid out 1629 and remained an independent city until 1874 when it was annexed by Boston. Although predominantly Irish American, the neighborhood boasts a diverse and vibrant character that seamlessly blends together its historical heritage and contemporary identity. Tourists are drawn to the area by popular attractions like the U.S.S. Constitution, the Navy Yard and the Bunker Hill Monument, as well as the many local restaurants that can be found here.
