Rugby, Boston

Rugby was a 1894 residential development of 60 acres straddling the border between what was then the western section of the Dorchester district of Boston and the eastern part of the town of Hyde Park, Massachusetts. Described by the developer Wood, Harmon & Co. as a "new Dorchester suburb, commands fine views of Blue Hills", the area was purchased from the estate of Charles L. Flint and others. The area is now part of the Boston neighborhoods of Mattapan and Hyde Park.
