Known as one of Boston’s most vibrant neighborhoods, South End offers fine dining at some of the best restaurants in New England. Culturally diverse and rich in history, the South End was originally developed to accommodate the overflow of residents from Beacon Hill and downtown Boston. Originally surrounded by salt marshes, the strip of land was used to create the South End. Charles Bulfinch was in charge of designing the neighborhood. Bulfinch also designed many other historical areas including the Boston Common, the Massachusetts State House and a large portion, the Capitol Building (US).
By the mid-1880’s, the majority of well-to-do families that made the area home had vacated to other, more prestigious areas like Back Bay. As the wealthy left, immigrants from Greece, Italy, and Ireland began to take their place. Settlement houses and tenements were built to house the new residents. Over the last 100 years, the area has become incredibly diverse, welcoming everyone from different cultures and lifestyles.
