The city of Boston, Massachusetts has a long and rich history. As such it has a great many properties and districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There are 295 properties and districts listed on the National Register in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, including 57 National Historic Landmarks. The city of Boston is the location of 275 of these properties and districts, including 56 landmarks. Properties and districts located in the county's other three municipalities are listed separately.
Because of the large number of listings, the list has been split into northern and southern listings, divided by the Massachusetts Turnpike. Northern Boston has 136 of these listings, including 38 districts, 48 landmarks, and three National Historic Landmark Districts. Southern Boston has 141 listings, including 42 districts, 12 landmarks, and one National Historic Landmark District. Two historic districts overlap into both northern and southern Boston: milestones that make up the 1767 Milestones are found in both areas, and the Olmsted Park System extends through much of the city.
