- Charlestown was established in 1629, making it five years older than Boston. Early English colonists resided here first, but many moved across the Charles River to Boston because of the poor water in Charlestown. Charlestown was also the site of one of the first battles of the American Revolution. The British punished the citizens of Charlestown for their participation in the battle by burning the town to the ground. Charlestown was rebuilt quickly after the war (MA-T36).
