	East Boston, nicknamed "Eastie," is a neighborhood of Boston that was created by connecting five islands ([[W:Noddle's Island|Noddle's]]; Hog's – which later known as Breed's Island, and would become [[W:Orient Heights|Orient Heights]]; [[W:Governors Island (Massachusetts)|Governor's]]; Bird; and [[W:Apple Island (Massachusetts)|Apple]].) using land fill. It is separated from the rest of the city by [[Boston Harbor]] and is bordered by [[W:Winthrop|Winthrop]], [[Revere]], and the [[W:Chelsea Creek|Chelsea Creek]]. Directly west of East Boston, across Boston Inner Harbor, is the neighborhood of [[North End]] and Boston's [[Financial District]].<ref name="EastBoston">[[W:East Boston|East Boston on Wikipedia]]</ref>		East Boston, nicknamed "Eastie," is a neighborhood of Boston that was created by connecting five islands ([[W:Noddle's Island|Noddle's]]; Hog's – which later known as Breed's Island, and would become [[W:Orient Heights|Orient Heights]]; [[W:Governors Island (Massachusetts)|Governor's]]; Bird; and [[W:Apple Island (Massachusetts)|Apple]].) using land fill.

This influx in population would lead to rapid growth in the industrialization of the area, and subsequently its transportation needs. That said, the neighborhood itself wasn't directly connected to Boston proper until 1904, with the construction of the first tunnel to cross the harbor: a [[Boston Metro|subway]] tunnel. Several more tunnels would be constructed in the following decades. In the early 1920s, an airfield was constructed, and eventually it would expand into [[Boston International Airport|an International Airport]].<ref name="EastBoston"/>
