Lead Tucked into the southwest corner of Boston, Hyde Park was the last town to be annexed by Boston in 1912. The area was established in the 1660s and grew into a hub of paper and cotton manufacturing in the eighteenth century. The extension of rail lines from Boston in the 1850s spurred the area’s residential development. Hyde Park may be a city but it sure does have a town vibe. Hyde park is very proud of its very divers and ethnic back round. The charisma and spunk can be shown taking a tour through many stores and restaurants along Hyde Park Avenue, River Street and Fairmount Avenue. These wonderful and old found streets make up the Cleary and Logan Square business districts. In the spring and summer, many city residents flock to Hyde Park. People enjoy golf at the George Wright Golf Course. This is only one of the city's two municipal golf courses. Hyde Park's charm has also captured the hearts of former Mayor Thomas M.Menino,James Monroe Trotter House,John Enneking, and Tileston-Hollingsworth. Each of these men contributed a great deal to the city of Hyde park.Each year. Hyde park does care about its residents, the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) holds meetings with the community to share data from our annual Health of Boston report and to listen to residents’ concerns about their health. In October,BPHC held the second of our 2011 community meetings in conjunction with the Hyde Park Community Center, Boston Center for Youth and Families, and Hyde Park Community Resources(HPCR) service providers,including the Boston Police Department, Ethos, Fairmount Hill Neighborhood Association, Fairmount Housing, Greater Boston Nazarene Compassion Center, Greater Roslindale Medical & Dental Center, Hyde Park Library, Hyde Park Main Streets, Hyde Park Neighborhood Association, Hyde Park Presbyterian Church, Hyde Park YMCA, Hyde Park/WestRoxbury Adult Literacy Group, Mattapan Community Health Center,and the Southwest Boston Community Development Corporation.
Urban renewal and the backlash Activists from both sides of the Charles came together to sink a pair of ruinous highways. They crossed neighborhood boundaries, bound together and argued that people, not roadways, build communities. And they won. Their victory came before construction crews walled off their neighborhoods with lanes of speeding cars, but after bulldozers had demolished thousands of homes lying in the paths of the planned highways. Instead of running a highway from Hyde Park to Roxbury, state transportation officials built the Orange Line. The subway line, built along the path of the scuttled Southwest Expressway, helped remake Jamaica Plain. Still, the Orange Line remains lined with empty lots and dead spots, legacies of highway clearing from a half-century ago. So now the old coalitions are assembling again, with the goal of redeveloping neighborhoods along the length of the Orange Line corridor. The Orange Line spans four municipalities and scores of neighborhoods. Jamaica Plain is a long way from Somerville and Malden, but the neighborhoods act as nodes along a common transit link. This is true in the sense that the line physically connects disparate populations. But the physical geography of lying along a transit line of the Orange Line’s vintage means communities up and down the line share a common economic development profile

The Board adopted the Hyde Park Neighborhood Strategic Plan which sets forth a comprehensive vision for the Hyde Park neighborhood. Adoption of the neighborhood plan is the culmination of a two year planning process by Boston Redevelopment Authority staff and a team of planning consultants led by Crosby | Schlessinger | Smallridge, in collaboration with a neighborhood Advisory Group and the offices of Councilor Robert Consalvo and the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services. Over the course of nineteen public meetings, a strategic plan was crafted to provide a vision for neighborhood land use, zoning, development, historic preservation, open space, transportation and sustainability. In the fall of 2011, a new neighborhood zoning article for Hyde Park will be prepared by the BRA which will reflect recommendations from the neighborhood plan. Specific focus areas of the plan include targeted recommendations for strengthening the Logan and Cleary Square commercial district, as well as tools for leveraging the natural assets of the neighborhood through the introduction of open space zoning protections and Boston's first Riverfront Protection Overlay District.

After training in Europe he exhibited widely in this country. He frequented Hyde Park to paint directly from nature. Enneking was also active in conservation, and was influential in the acquisition of the Stony Brook woodlands as a public reservation. He served on the board of the Hyde Park Commission. Tileston-Hollingsworth - 864 River St. This is the longest continuously operating paper manufacturing site in the nation. A paper mill has been located here since 1773. In 1806, Tileston Hollingsworth (founded 1798) acquired the mill. Over the next two centuries, the internationally-known paper company built a huge complex along Hyde Park's industrial corridor on the Neponset River. Among the factory's innovations was a machine that made the widest paper available in the world at the time. In 1995, Bay State Paper Company located here, continuing the tradition.
Community Resource In October 2010, BPHC held its second annual community meeting in conjuction with Hyde park Community Centers. The health topics discussed were chosen by HPCR to address issues important to the Hyde Park neighborhood. The meeting highlighted community concerns and exposed participants to the problem of racial and ethnic health inequities. Additionally they were encouraged to consider the social factors contributing to these unjust differences. The issues that were raised were Obesity, low birth weight and chlamydia. 50 people attended this meeting. The advantages Hyde Park does have are the four supermarkets, Community Center, YMCA, and the abundence of recreational space in the city. After a few hours of brainstorming Community came up with pre-solutions to solve these health issues. The community health center would now start to have Zumba and swimming classes. They would also hold cooking workshops so people could eat healthier. The citizens did want a health clinic but that is something that couldn't be done right away. Instead the Community vowed to have these workshops more often to try and encourage people to become more healthy and safe. T

-One of the first things I noticed while reading your sections is that statements you made are not cited, for example "Activists from both sides of the Charles came together to sink a pair of ruinous highways. They crossed neighborhood boundaries, bound together and argued that people, not roadways, build communities. And they won". You should specify who it is you are talking about, and cite this change.
-Use the citation tool on wiki, eliminating the url at the end of a paragraph. -Quote and cite the mission statements -Cite this, where was info found:Around Boston area the lowest rates of high alcohol comsumption, athma and sexually transmitted disease. Hyde Park is home to an increasingly diverse population who reside in a mix of historic buildings and mid-twentieth century single-family homes. -Try to use more cites to find info _ try to find other demographic info, such as ages, school percentages, etc. -Under the Boston section, the mosquito concept, cite it. what year is this in ? -you have good info, i would just say cite more,
