State Street (Boston)
State Street in Boston, Massachusetts, is one of the oldest streets in the city. Located in the financial district, it is the site of some historic landmarks, such as Long Wharf, the Old State House and the Boston Custom House.
==History==
In 1630 the first Puritan settlers, led by John Winthrop, built their earliest houses along what is today "State Street." The Puritans also originally built the meeting house for the First Church in Boston on the street across from the marketplace, which was located where the Old State House stands today. By 1636 the thoroughfare was known as ''Market Street.'' From 1708 to 1784 it was renamed ''King Street''. In 1770 the Boston Massacre took place in front of the Old State House.
During the Revolutionary War, it assumed its current, non-royalist name.〔Boston Street Laying-Out Dept. A record of the streets, alleys, places, etc. in the city of Boston.
