BPD Headquarters History[edit] Pre-history (1635–1828)[edit] Before the existence of a formal police department, the first night watch was established in Boston in 1635.[2] In 1703, pay in the sum of 35 shillings a month was set for members of the night watch.
In 1796, the watch was reorganized, and the watchmen carried a badge of office, a rattle, and a six-foot pole, which was painted blue and white with a hook on one end and a bill on the other. The hook was used to grab fleeing criminals, and the rounded "bill" was used as a weapon. The Day Police, which had no connection to the night watch, was organized in 1838.[2] The Day Police operated under the city marshal and had six appointed officers.

Boston. Boston (pronounced One of the oldest cities in the United States, Boston was founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630 by Puritan colonists from England.[12] It was the scene of several key events of the American Revolution, such as the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Siege of Boston.

Through land reclamation and municipal annexation, Boston has expanded beyond the original peninsula. Its rich history helps attract many tourists, with Faneuil Hall alone attracting over 20 million visitors.[15] Boston's many "firsts" include the United States' first public school (1635),[16] and first subway system (1897).

Category:Streets in Boston, Massachusetts. S best addresses. Untitled. Paint by numbers. Paint by numbers By Andy Woodruff on 13 May 2010 Here’s something from the “Mildly Interesting” files.
Address numbering schemes can vary a lot from place to place in the United States. In some cities the system is straightforward enough that by knowing a street number you can know approximately, if not exactly, the location of that address. In some other places… well, luckily addresses are all geocoded and easy to search for these days. Beyond knowing the system or finding addresses, I was curious to see complete house numbering systems.
Instead, one can still get a sense of the house numbering scheme by looking at where the numbers begin. Washington, DC: A perfect example of a system where numbers increase in north, south, east, and west directions from two central axes, in this case extending from the Capitol. Dayton, Ohio: Had to check out my place of origin. New Orleans: I can’t really tell what’s going on here. San Francisco: What the hell? Tagged street numbers.
