Originally part of an area called Winnesimmet by the Native Americans in the United States Americans, the peninsula was annexed by Boston in 1632 and within five years became the grazing area for farm animals of the rapidly growing Boston colony. It was officially incorporated in 1852 and named Winthrop after Deane Winthrop, the son of the first Governor of Massachusetts, John Winthrop, and is one of the four municipalities in Suffolk County (the others are the cities of Boston, Revere, Massachusetts and Chelsea, Massachusetts It is located on a peninsula, at the beginning of the North Shore, with seven miles of shoreline that provides views of the ocean to the east and of the Boston skyline to the west. The Board of Selectmen and Town Meeting were abolished, and legislative powers were vested in an elected Town Council. In 2006, a new Town Charter, establishing a city form of government, was passed in a special election. Deer Island (Massachusetts) Island, though within the city limits of Boston, is located in Winthrop Bay.
