NORTH END’S MOST TRUSTED HOUSE CLEANING REFERRAL AGENCY

North End is a place in Boston that gets a lot of attention. The air here is redolent of tomato and cheese and oregano, and views of the waterfront are astounding. Aside from being known as Boston’s “Little Italy,” the North End neighborhood is where you can find some historical sites, like Paul Revere’s house. No matter the time of year, North End is one of the top destinations to visit in the city. 

Let’s have a look at all the things the North End neighborhood in Boston has to offer. 

The People and Places of North End

Though small in size—only a single square mile of waterfront residences and streets—North End remains one of the most exciting and beloved neighborhoods in all of Boston. The location is upon the Shawmut Peninsula, with Copp’s Hill at the heart of the neighborhood. 

The population of the North End is a little over 10,000 people. Over 90 percent of the residents are White. Nearly 4 percent of the population is Latino or Hispanic, and Asians make up around 3 percent of the population. Throughout history, however, there have been different ethnic groups dominating the area. For example, between 1865 and 1880, nearly all of the North End was Irish. But by 1890, Italians had made the area their own, which is why it became known as “Little Italy.”

North End is also home to some of Boston’s more accessible public works of art, including the North End Library Mosaics (25 Parmenter Street), the Benjamin Franklin Tablet, the Merchant Marine Memorial, and the Paul Revere sculpture (at Paul Revere Mall). 

There are also several summer festivals, or feasts, that honor patron saint that is known throughout Italy. Everyone is welcome to see the parades and marching bands. There are also plenty of vendors, food, and other entertainments. Saint Anthony’s Feast is the most well-known and is called the “Feast of all Feasts.” 

The History of the North End

Ever since the 1630s, the North End has been home to many famous individuals in American History, such as Paul Revere, whose house was built upon the site of the first church, the North Meeting House. 

By the 18th century, North End was the place everyone in Boston wanted to live. There were well-to-do families living alongside laborers, artists, and even slaves. In fact, throughout the 17th to 19th century, North End was home to a small community of freed slaves. You can still find some of their headstones in Copp’s Hill Burying Ground. 

During the beginnings of the American Revolution, there were several riots that happened at North End’s North Square and other locations. Some of those riots even had fatalities. During the British Siege of Boston (1775-1776), the enemy forces tore down the North Meeting House for firewood. 

Then at the beginning of the 19th century, Boston’s North End saw rapid development, including the start of a red-light district called the Black Sea. The previous wealth North End had experienced quickly turned downward, and the living conditions became squalid. Nonetheless, Jewish and Italian immigrants poured into the area with the hope of a better life. 

In 1918, the North End was one of the places in Boston hit by the Spanish Influenza. So many people died that the orphans had to be put in a care center called the Home of Italian Children. In 1919, a 2.3 million gallon storage tank full of molasses burst, causing what has been dubbed the “Great Molasses Flood.”

Since then, the North End has changed, once again becoming a place of progress and peace. Many Italians still call the North End home, and many restaurants are thriving.
