Excerpt from History of the West Roxbury Park: How Obtained; Disregard of Private Rights; Absolute Injustice; Arbitrary Laws; Right of Eminent Domain; 1873 to 1887 Sometime during the spring of 1873 the question of establishing a system of Public Parks for the city of Boston was first suggested and brought before the citizens, who heartily and earnestly approved the project. It was felt that a large enterprising city like Boston, the metropolis of New England, possessing ample wealth and enjoying such a wide-spread reputation at home and abroad for refinement and culture, should not fall behind other noted cities of the world in providing for its citizens broad fields and acres for a public domain, where our own citizens and strangers alike could meet together with freedom, on common ground, to breathe the pure air of heaven; to bask in the health-giving sunshine of the country; to enjoy its sylvan shade, its rustic scenery, and the pleasure of friendly meetings and friendly greetings. The city government, after a long delay interspersed with hostile conflicts and hard fought battles, finally concluded to follow the example of other thrifty cities, and commence a series of public parks, to be established in different parts of the city, in order to accommodate, and at the same time to satisfy the tax payers and tax grumblers in the various sections. Thus was inaugurated an enterprise worthy the high standard Boston occupies as one of the leading commercial cities in this country.

West Roxbury, located along the scenic Charles River, is a community of tree-lined streets and panoramic views, which has undergone tremendous changes since its incorporation as a town in 1851. Formerly known as "Westerly" or "South Street," West Roxbury has grown from a largely rural area, accessible only by train, into a charming neighborhood of Victorian homes that still offers many of the same advantages that attracted people a century ago--the quietness of small town life, with the attractions of big city living just a short distance away. West Roxbury is also the former home of Brook Farm, a utopian community founded by Reverend Ripley. Brook Farm was a center of literary achievement that attracted such foremost thinkers of the nineteenth century as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Horace Greeley.

Few American cities possess a history as long, rich, and fascinating as Boston’s. A site of momentous national political events from the Revolutionary War through the civil rights movement, Boston has also been an influential literary and cultural capital. From ancient glaciers to landmaking schemes and modern infrastructure projects, the city’s terrain has been transformed almost constantly over the centuries. The Atlas of Boston History traces the city’s history and geography from the last ice age to the present with beautifully rendered maps. Edited by historian Nancy S. Seasholes, this landmark volume captures all aspects of Boston’s past in a series of fifty-seven stunning full-color spreads. Each section features newly created thematic maps that focus on moments and topics in that history. These maps are accompanied by hundreds of historical and contemporary illustrations and explanatory text from historians and other expert contributors. They illuminate a wide range of topics including Boston’s physical and economic development, changing demography, and social and cultural life. In lavishly produced detail, The Atlas of Boston History offers a vivid, refreshing perspective on the development of this iconic American city. Contributors Robert J. Allison, Robert Charles Anderson, John Avault, Joseph Bagley, Charles Bahne, Laurie Baise, J. L. Bell, Rebekah Bryer, Aubrey Butts, Benjamin L. Carp, Amy D.
