In the 18th century, the Neck was the only land route into Boston. During the American Revolutionary War, fortifications were built across the Neck to protect the city from a land attack. When the Siege of Boston began in 1775, Governor Thomas Gage ordered that the fortifications be expanded and strengthened, to which they eventually became known as "Gage's Lines."[1]
Beginning in the 19th century, land was added to the Boston Neck, widening it and allowing the city to grow, which also eased traffic on and off the island.[1]
