1 jan 1634 ano - 1634 Boston Common Becomes First Public Park

Descrição:

1634
The Town of Boston collects 6 shillings (or more) from each resident and buys 44 acres from William Blaxton for 30 pounds. Blaxton retains 6 acres in case he ever decides to move back to Boston.
Boston residents all have free access to the new land – Boston Common, which becomes the first public park in the United States.
Fifty years after the acquisition, several older residents recount “after which purchase the town laid out a trayning field; which ever since and now is used for that purpose, and for the feeding of cattell.”
Also in 1634, the Town of Boston issues the first license to operate a tavern to Samuel Cole.
