1845: Irish Arrived
-
Irish fleeing the potato famine arrived in Boston in tens of thousands, many eventually settling in the south of the city. By 1900, the Irish were the dominant ethnic group in Boston. They flexed their political muscle accordingly, culminating in the election of John F. Kennedy (see John F. Kennedy (1917–1963)) as president in 1960.
