The peninsula as the colonists found it we called from the familiar description of the local historians. It was a neck of land jutting out at the bottom of Massachusetts bay with a fine harbor on Its sea side; at Its back, the Charles river, uniting at Its north end with the Mystic river as it enters the harbor from the north side of Charlestown; Its whole territory only about four miles in circuit; Its less than eight hundred acres comprising several abrupt elevations, with valleys between The loftiest elevation was the three-peake- d hill In Its heart, which gave it It first English name of Trimountain, and became Beacon, on the river side; the next In height, on the harbor front, were the north and south promontories of a great cove, which became respectively Topjfs hill and Fort hill. The town was begun round about the Market place, which was at the head of the present State street, where is now the old etatehouee. About t homes were built and the Market place the first highways struck out Thence meandered the earliest of those legendary cow paths, the lanes from which evolved the crooked little streets leading to the home lots and gardens of settlers.
