jan 1, 1629 - 1629 Puritans Land in Charlestown
Description:
1629The Puritans landed in nearby Charlestown in 1629 but they had problems finding potable water, so Blaxton invited them to settle on his land in Boston in 1630. They then granted him 50 acres (200,000 m2), but he sold it back to them in 1634. This land now makes up Boston Common, a central public park in Downtown Boston.
