This bird's-eye view shows Hingham from an imagined vantage point high above the town, with houses, streets, and waterfront drawn in miniature as if seen from the air. Hingham was settled in 1635 on the South Shore of Boston Harbor, and its harbor and shipbuilding trade shaped its growth for generations. Maps of this type were popular in the later 19th century, when towns used them to promote local businesses and show civic pride. Look closely at the harbor and the church and street layouts to see how the community looked before modern development.
