Dock Square (Boston)
Dock Square in downtown Boston, Massachusetts is a public square adjacent to Faneuil Hall, bounded by Congress Street, North Street, and Union Street.〔City of Boston. (Street book )〕 Its name derives from its original (17th-century) location at the waterfront. From the 1630s through the early 19th century, it served boats in the Boston Harbor as "the common landing place, at Bendell's Cove," later called Town Dock.〔Walter Kendall Watkins. The great street to Roxbury Gate, 1630-1830. (Bostonian Society Publications ), 1919.〕 "Around the dock was transacted the chief mercantile business of the town."〔Boston Street Laying-Out Dept. (A record of the streets, alleys, places, etc. in the city of Boston ). Boston: City Printing Dept., 1910.〕 After the waterfront was filled in in the early 19th century, Dock Square continued as a center of commerce for some years. The addition in the 1960s of Government Center changed the scale and character of the square from a hub of city life, to a place one merely passes through.〔Robert Campbell and Peter Vanderwarker. Dock Square. Boston Globe, Oct 5, 1997. pg. 18.〕 As of the 1950s the square has become largely a tourist spot, with the Freedom Trail running through it.
