| Historians believe that the interesting history of Hull was determined by
its unusual geography. The town is a long narrow peninsula projecting into
Boston harbor, which the Plymouth Colony used to set up a trading post with
local Indians in 1621. Star-shaped Fort Independence was built in Hull in
1776 to defend Boston Harbor, and General Benjamin Lincoln oversaw the
evacuation of Boston from this site in 1778. French Admiral d'Estaing used
the fort to defend the French fleet from British attack when the French
were forced to land for repairs. The town was devastated by loss of
manpower and income during the Revolution when its major businesses of
fishing, shipbuilding and lightering were interrupted by the blockade of
Boston.
In 1825 a new industry was launched in Hull when Paul Warrick built the
Sportsman Hotel on Nantasket Avenue, the very first hotel in the town (and
also the very last, since it is the only one still standing). The
magnificent beaches of the town, easy access to Boston and sea air brought
hordes of visitors and by 1840 steamers were making three trips a day
between Boston and Hull. Boardinghouses and elaborate hotels catered to
visitors while Hull fishermen and farmers still pulled nets and farmed in
its rural acreage. Claiming and salvaging wrecks was also a profitable
sideline for residents, who established a lifesaving team which rescued
thousands stranded on foundering vessels.
Hull enjoyed an era of grand hotels and prestigious visitors but gamblers,
pick-pockets and confidence men followed the tourists on the honky-tonk
boardwalk until the town licensed the construction of Paragon Park,
described by contemporaries as a "marvel of fantasy", to provide safe
family fun for the guests of the town. When the amusement park closed in
1985, an entire era ended for the town and the millions of visitors who had
used and enjoyed it for generations. But another era began as Hull
acquired a suburban character with a growing number of professionals moving
into town, drawn by the same beaches, proximity to Boston and sea air that
drew people in the 19th century. |
