From a Boston History note:LINKING THE ISLANDS
For Boston's first 200 years, the five islands that now make up East Boston were mostly privately owned and used for farming, grazing livestock, and military fortifications. Noddle's Island and Hog (or Breed's) Island, the two largest of the group, form the basis of the current residential and commercial sections of East Boston.
