Boston Common, Massachusetts, around 1910 was the oldest public park in the United States, a 50-acre green at the edge of the downtown district that had been used as common pasture since the 1630s. By then the city had grown past 670,000 people, and the streets bordering the Common carried electric streetcars that converged at Park Street and Tremont Street, making the park the busiest transfer point in the city. Its walks were lined with elms, and the Frog Pond and the bandstand drew families on summer evenings. Boston residents of the day knew the Common as the place where political rallies, militia drills and Sunday strollers all met, and the nearby State House on Beacon Hill reminded them that the park sat at the center of the city's civic life.
