History of Louisburg Square
Originally named "Mount Vernon Proprietors" after the wealthy landowners who built their mansions here in the early 19th century, the square was later renamed to honor King Louis XVI of France for his support during the American Revolution. The homes in Louisburg Square were some of the first to be built on Beacon Hill and have remained remarkably preserved over the years, giving visitors a glimpse into Boston's past.
