    Prior to European colonization, the region surrounding modern-day Boston was inhabited by the Massachusett people who occupied small, seasonal communities. When a group of settlers led by John Winthrop arrived in 1630, the Shawmut Peninsula was nearly empty of the Native people, as many had died of European diseases brought by early settlers and traders. Archaeological excavations unearthed one of the oldest fishweirs in New England on Boylston Street, which Native people constructed as early as 7,000 years before European arrival in the Western Hemisphere.

    The first European to live in what would become Boston was a Cambridge-educated Anglican cleric named William Blaxton. He was the person most directly responsible for the foundation of Boston by Puritan colonists in 1630. This occurred after Blaxton invited one of their leaders, Isaac Johnson to cross Back Bay from the failing colony of Charlestown and share the peninsula. This the Puritans did in September 1630.

    The name “Boston”[edit]

    Before dying on September 30, 1630, one of Johnson’s last official acts as the leader of the Charlestown community was to name their new settlement across the river “Boston”. He named the settlement after his hometown in Lincolnshire, the place from which he, his wife (namesake of the Arbella) and John Cotton (grandfather of Cotton Mather) had emigrated to New England. The name of the English town ultimately derives from its patron saint, St. Botolph, in whose church John Cotton served as the rector until his emigration with Johnson. In early sources the Lincolnshire Boston was known as “St. Botolph’s town”, later contracted to “Boston”. Before this renaming the settlement on the peninsula had been known as “Shawmut” by Blaxton and “Trimountain” by the Puritan settlers he had invited.
