Back Bay ????
•
Before its transformation into buildable land by a 19th-century filling project, the BB was literally a bay, west of the Shawmut Peninsula between Boston and Cambridge, the Charles River entering from the west. This bay was tidal: the water rose and fell several feet over the course of each day, and at low tide much of the bay’s bed was exposed as a marshy flat. As early as 5,200 years before present, Native Americans built fish weirs here, evidence of which was discovered during subway construction in 1913. Today, along with neighboring Beacon Hill, it is one of Boston’s two most expensive residential neighborhoods.
