Brookline
is a suburban town of Boston in east-central Massachusetts. As of the 2010 census, the population was 58,732. The town of Brookline was part of Boston until it was incorporated in 1705. Although it's very close to the city, Brookline has maintained its own identity over the years, unlike many suburban towns near big cities. It's unique in that it offers both upscale urban amenities with a rural, small town feeling. Many Boston professionals, especially in the scientific and academic fields, have made Brookline their home. Brookline has a wide variety of shopping choices, museums, the oldest country club in the USA, and one of the oldest puppet theaters in the country. The town is also known for its large population of Russian and Israeli immigrants and its many synagogues. Brookline is the birthplace of U.S. President John F. Kennedy. His home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is open to the public from May through September. Other attractions include the 64-acre Larz Anderson Park, which features a children's playground, picnicking area, ball fields and a figure-8 shaped lagoon. The park also contains the Larz Anderson Auto Museum, which houses the oldest automobile collection in the nation and a one-room schoolhouse from Colonial times.
