Once a rural paradise known as �Noddle�s Island;� East Boston is the site of key developments in the nation�s history; including the first naval battle of the American Revolution; the creation of the world�s fastest sailing ships; the country�s first underwater tunnel; and the nation�s first public branch library. It has had its share of famous residents; from Colonial governor John Winthrop and repentant Salem witch trial judge Samuel Sewall; to clipper ship builder Donald McKay and the world�s first female clipper ship navigator; Mary Patten. Women�s suffrage activist Judith Winsor Smith called East Boston home; as did the first Civil War nurse; Armeda Gibbs; Massachusetts governor John Bates; and Boston mayor Frederick Mansfield. Pres. John F. Kennedy�s paternal grandparents and father were born in East Boston; where they started their first businesses and political ventures; and the neighborhood has produced numerous community activists; musicians; artists; writers; and athletes.
