Allston, Massachusetts Criminal Lawyer

Early in the neighborhood’s history, modern-day Allston, MA was part of the former town of Brighton. In 1868, a new post office and railroad depot were built in the eastern section of Brighton. Following the completion of the railroad depot and the post office, the area was given the name Allston after a well-known Cambridge painter – Washington Allston.

Although Brighton was annexed by the City of Boston in 1874, Allston has never existed as an independent town or city. Yet the culturally diverse Boston neighborhood boasts a unique and rich history. The area’s economy was initially driven by large scale livestock and railroad operations. While the livestock industry faded away by the end of the 1900s, railroad operations from early in Allston’s history are still being utilized to this day.

What began as a small eastern section of Brighton has grown into a densely populated Boston neighborhood. Today, Allston, Boston, Massachusetts is home to approximately 21,500 residents. As a neighborhood of the City of Boston, Allston is within the jurisdiction of the Boston court system.
