Hull
The Town of Hull is a long narrow penisula projecting into Boston Harbor. The town was originally established by Plymouth Colony in 1621 as a trading post with the local Indians. In 1776 Fort Revere was built in Hull to defend Boston Harbor during the revolution. Unfortunately the town's economy and major businesses of fishing and shipbuilding were interrupted by the blockade of Boston. In 1825 a new industry, tourism , was launched in Hull by the building of the Sportsmen Hotel. Hull enjoyed an era of Grand Hotels, and by 1840 steamers were making 3 trips a day between Boston and Hull bringing hordes of visitors to its magnificent beaches. By the early 20th century the building of Paragon Park provided a "marvel of fantasy" and great family fun for visitors. In 1985 with the closing of Paragon Park a new era began . Hull has acquired a suburban character with many new residents attracted by the beautiful beaches and close proximity to Boston. For more information click Town of Hull
