  • A History of Forest Hills
    A HISTORY OF FOREST HILLS FOREST HILLS is the most complex area of Jamaica Plain.i Transformed by transportation over two centuries of time, Forest Hills challenges the definition of neighborhood. About a mile long and a half-mile across, Forest Hills has been shaped by geography more than any other part of Jamaica Plain. It sits in a valley at the confluence of two streams flanked by two hills on which have been landscaped two Boston landmarks and American institutions: The Arnold Arboretum and Forest Hills Cemetery. The hills that channeled the streams also channeled transportation routes beginning in 1806 with the Norfolk and Bristol Turnpike (today Washington Street). I. FOREST HILLS was for over a hundred and fifty years a crossroads in an obscure corner of Roxbury known as Canterbury. Three 17th century roadways converged in that valley – South Street (or the road leading out of the Dedham highway – today called Centre Street) along John Weld’s farm meandering along an irregular line into present day West Roxbury; Walnut Avenue, or the road to the Great Lotts wound its way through Roxbury highlands from Warren Street (the upper Road to Dorchester and Plymouth) at present-day Dudley Square; Walnut Avenue and South Street formed a crossroads about where the Arborway crosses South Street today. Coming off South Street a bit south of the crossroads was Walk Hill Street that ran to the Dorchester line at Harvard Street. At Forest Hills the traveler could go to Roxbury, Dedham or Dorchester. Walnut Avenue and South Street crossed over on wood plank bridges two steams that mark the valley.
