Jamaica Plain, MA Real Estate

Jamaica Plain, commonly known as "JP," is a historic neighborhood in Boston, Massachusetts. It was originally part of Roxbury, Massachusetts, and then part of the town of West Roxbury, Massachusetts when that was established in 1848. West Roxbury (including Jamaica Plain) was annexed to Boston in 1874. According to an official city estimate, it had a population of 38,196 in October 2003.

"Jamaica" may be an Anglicization of the name Kuchamakin, sachem (chief) of the Massachusett tribe. [1]

Jamaica Plain was settled by the Curtis family, circa 1640. A number of the still-extant streets date to this era, including Centre Street, Day Street, and Perkins Street.

Shortly thereafter, Capt. Joseph Weld (ancestor of William Weld ) was awarded 278 acres (including present-day Forest Hills and a portion of what is now Arnold Arboretum ) for this role in the Pequot War and subsequent negotiations. The Weld Family was closely tied to JP until modern times. [2]

The Loring-Greenough House (c. 1760 ) was a country estate and farmstead of Commodore Joshua Loring of the British Army. After Loring fled to England in 1774, the Loring house served as a commissary, hospital and headquarters for Colonial troops during the American Revolution. After the Revolution, the house was the family home for four generations of the David Stoddard Greenough family from 1780 until its conversion by the Jamaica Plain Tuesday Club to a historic house museum in 1926. This house is the only 18th century building still standing in Jamaica Plain.
