    Boston is known as Beantown for a few different reasons. One story goes that early settlers were so desperate for food that they boiled and ate beans for every meal. Another explanation is that Boston was once a major hub for the shipping and trade of beans. And lastly, in the early 1800s, Boston was home to a popular dish called “Boston baked beans” which consisted of beans baked in molasses.

    Boston is a historic city with a lot of character, and one of the nicknames it’s known by is Beantown. But have you ever wondered where that nickname came from?

    The most popular theory is that it’s because of Boston’s love of baked beans. Baked beans were actually first introduced to the city by Puritan settlers in the 1600s, and they’ve been a staple food here ever since. Boston is even home to the baked bean festival, which is held every year in July.

    So next time you hear someone call Boston Beantown, you’ll know it’s because of the city’s long history with baked beans!
