Historical question. Before it was called "Boston" what was the original
name of the city?
The place was called Shawmut by the local Indians. It was called
Trimountain by the inhabitants of the settlement of Charlestown, across the
harbor. From its earliest formal designation as a town by the General Court
of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, it was called Boston.
