Hull, MA
Incorporated in 1644, Hull is a long narrow peninsula that projects into Boston Harbor. Due to its unusual geography, the town of 28.21 square miles was originally used as a trading post. Later, the town’s beaches, access to Boston, and sea air brought hordes of visitors, and by 1840 steamers were making three trips a day between Boston and Hull. Hull is home to Paragon Carousel, Nantasket Beach and Fort Revere Park.
