By most accounts, the Back Bay is Boston's premier neighborhood – a place that combines the best of everything modern city living has to offer. Whether you live here, work here, or come here to visit, it's easy to see why the Back Bay enjoys a special distinction throughout the world as one of America's most interesting and attractive urban neighborhoods.

The Neighborhood Association of the Back Bay is a volunteer organization whose mission is to preserve and enhance the unique beauty and residential character of the neighborhood. Founded in 1955, our membership consists of about 2,000 neighbors who count on NABB for information, for advocacy and for ways to socialize with other neighbors.

This web site is designed to give you a feel for the history, character and flavor of our special neighborhood. To link you to other important resources in the City and the Commonwealth. To keep you informed about NABB's work on behalf of the Back Bay. And to assist you in taking part in our activities.

Our thanks to photographers Lise Beane, Helen Eddy, Susan Beebee and Peter Sherin, and to The Boston Courant and the Boston Public Library for generously contributing the images on this web site.
