By 1828, the mill pond occupying what is today the North End and West End neighborhoods of Downtown Boston was filled in to accommodate the need for sanitary residential space. As a result, the neighborhood that sprung up around the mill pond was dramatically altered and, consequently, is often overlooked in Boston's history. Join the National Parks of Boston as we look to better understand the social history and environmental impacts of this diverse community.
