1 of 4 A River Called QuinobequinIn 1630, the date of the first English settlement, Pequusset, was occupied by indigenous people under the name Massachusett, who inhabited what is now the Metro Boston region.They settled and prospered from the rich natural resources, especially fishing and beaver trapping, associated with the river they called Quinobequin ("meandering"), which we now call the Charles River.The land associated with the Cooper Frost Austin House originally ran south to the common and access to the grazing land undoubtedly enhanced its value.The 1630 transfer of "ownership" of Pequuset was not negotiated with its indigenous inhabitants. Rather, the first English colonists simply seized the land which they believed was unoccupied, notwithstanding its seasonal occupation and exploitation by the Massachusett.Find out about parking, photography policy, and more.Visit nearby Otis House in Boston's West End.Visit Pierce House, one of the oldest houses in Boston.Sign up to our newsletter for our latest news and events
