HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF CHARLESTOWN

Charlestown, Massachusetts, named for King Charles I, was settled by English colonists in 1628 and was located on a peninsula known as "Mishawum" by the Native Americans. Originally encompassing much of its surrounding towns, Charlestown was a very large and independent community which grew into a bustling town within a few years. During the Revolutionary War, the Battle of Bunker Hill was fought there.

At the time The Blake family lived there there it had a population of about 20,000.  In 1874, four years after Mary Ann Blake's birth, it was incorporated as part of Boston. As with other parts of Boston, it attracted large numbers of Irish immigrants.
