Charlestown Movers
Located on a peninsula near the northern end of downtown Boston, Charlestown was once a separate town in itself. It is now a neighborhood of Boston.
First settled by Thomas and Jane Walford in 1624, Charlestown was originally named Mishawaum. The area had a large Irish population due to immigrants from the great famine of the 1840′s in Ireland. The neighborhood has undergone many changes since that time and is now well-known for it’s colonial architecture.
Famous inventor and accomplished painter Samuel Morse was from Charlestown. He was instrumental in helping to invent a telegraph system and co-inventor of Morse Code, a once-popular method of transmitting a method of transmitting text information, which is still used at sea to this day. Morse Code is also used to help people with certain disabilities to communicate.
