A Guide Tour to Chinatown Boston MA

Bordering Boston Common, Downtown Crossing, the South End and the Southeast Express Way is the only historical Chinese neighborhood in Boston- Chinatown. It partly occupies a space reclaimed after filling a tidal flat. The residential area originally housing the Anglo Bostonians was later settled in by Irish, Jewish, Italian, Syrian and Chinese immigrants in a mixture of succession. Each group wanted to benefit from the low housing costs and job availability offered by the neighborhood.
