Roxbury

Roxbury, annexed to Boston in 1867, has seen tremendous change as a result of land development and a shifting population. Today Roxbury is a "streetcar suburb" of the city and a thriving nexus of cultures, religions, and races.

About the author

In his second book on Roxbury, noted historian Anthony Mitchell Sammarco shows the growth of this neighborhood from its early days as a farming town, to a bustling city, and later to a neighborhood known as Boston Highlands. Charlie Rosenberg, who took the contemporary photographs, has worked with Sammarco on several Then & Now books.
