Copley Square is an area in the Back Bay of Boston , Massachusetts . In Massachusetts, the word ''square'' is often used to refer merely to an intersection of two streets that has been named in somebody's honor and labelled by a sign announcing the name. By contrast, Copley Square has been a Square In The Usual Sense Of The Word since 1994, when its street pattern was reconfigured to create what is now Copley Square Park . Before 1916, it was the site of the campus of MIT , which moved across the river to Cambridge in that year. Copley Square is the terminus of the Boston Marathon . Copley Square is best known for its architectural landmarks, which include:
Copley is a stop on the MBTA Green Line subway; the Orange Line and commuter rail trains stop at nearby Back Bay Station . It was also at one time the terminal of the Boston And Providence Railroad , before South Station was built. |
