Originally connected to the city by ferries, by 1801 a proposal by [[W:William H. Sumner|William H. Sumner]] to the [[federal government]] to create a turnpike to connect [[Salem]] to Boston via the undeveloped Noddle's Island. The only issue with the plan was that the land in [[Charlestown]] was already purchased by the federal government as the site for a future [[United States Navy|naval]] yard. However with the [[W:War of 1812|War of 1812]] the needs for a naval yard and its secure route through East Boston and over the [[Boston Harbor]] took precedence. Subsequently the route was planned to go through [[Chelsea]] as opposed to Noddle's Island.<ref name="EastBoston"/>

This new territory would be annexed by the City of Boston in 1836. By the mid 1800s the neighborhood would become an influx point for immigrants to the city for well over a century. 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"/>
