East Boston: Logan Airport and the Immigrant Gateway
East Boston is built on what were originally five separate islands in Boston Harbor, connected to each other and the mainland by fill over the course of the 19th century. Logan International Airport, the largest airport in New England, occupies more than half the neighborhood's land area. The airport's runways and terminals sit within a few hundred yards of residential streets, and jet noise is a constant factor of life in the neighborhood.
Maverick Square and Central Square serve as the commercial hubs, connected to downtown Boston by the Blue Line subway. The neighborhood has been an entry point for successive waves of immigration: Irish in the 1840s, Jewish families in the early 1900s, Italians through the mid-century, and more recently, Central American, Colombian, and Brazilian residents who have transformed the commercial strips along Meridian Street and Bennington Street.
Piers Park, built on a former shipyard site, offers views of the downtown skyline and the inner harbor. The East Boston Greenway, a walking and cycling path that follows a former rail corridor, connects several neighborhoods within East Boston. Constitution Beach, near the Orient Heights Blue Line station, provides a public beach with views of the harbor islands. The LoPresti Park waterfront, facing downtown across the harbor, is one of the most photographed vantage points in the city.
The Orient Heights neighborhood, at higher elevation near the Suffolk Downs site, has views across the harbor to Winthrop and the outer islands. The neighborhood was historically Italian-American, and some of the restaurants and bakeries on Bennington Street reflect that heritage. The newer immigrant communities have added their own businesses and cultural institutions, creating a multilingual commercial district.
The airport expansion and the construction of additional terminals over the decades have consumed former residential and commercial land. The relationship between the airport and the surrounding neighborhood is managed through mitigation agreements that include soundproofing programs and community benefit payments. The Sumner and Callahan Tunnels and the Ted Williams Tunnel connect East Boston to the rest of the city beneath the harbor.
