JP (as it usually called by locals) encompasses only 3.07 square miles but offers a tremendously rich and varied narrative.
Settled by Puritans in the 1630s and attracting wealthy Bostonians to build summer estates on the Jamaica Pond in the 18th century, JP was transformed in the 19th century by transportation.
It became a “streetcar suburb” and earned the nickname “The Eden of America.”
Come along to see one of the oldest houses in Jamaica Plain used as a military hospital at the start of the American Revolution, a selection of very impressive Victorian houses, and part of the Emerald Necklace park system.
