Somerville

Más información sobre el libro

The transformation of Somerville from a remote part of Charlestown to a vibrant city reflects significant historical developments, including the construction of the Middlesex Canal and expanded rail access in the 19th century. Officially separating from Charlestown in 1842, the population surge led to the subdivision of farms into residential neighborhoods. Incorporated in 1871, Somerville evolved into a beloved community, praised for its health, cleanliness, and convenience, becoming an attractive modern residential area over the years.
