href="/wiki/Massachusetts" title="Massachusetts">Massachusetts</a>, is a public square adjacent to <a href="/wiki/Faneuil_Hall" title="Faneuil Hall">Faneuil Hall</a>, bounded by <a href="/wiki/Congress_Street_(Boston,_Massachusetts)" class="mw-redirect" title="Congress Street (Boston, Massachusetts)">Congress Street</a>, <a href="/wiki/North_Street_(Boston,_Massachusetts)" class="mw-redirect" title="North Street (Boston, Massachusetts)">North Street</a>, and the steps of the <a href="/wiki/60_State_Street" title="60 State Street">60 State Street</a> office tower.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Its name derives from its original (17th-century) location at the waterfront. From the 1630s through the early 19th century, it served boats in the <a href="/wiki/Boston_Harbor" title="Boston Harbor">Boston Harbor</a> as "the common landing place, at Bendell's Cove," later called Town Dock.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> "Around the dock was transacted the chief mercantile business of the town."<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> After the waterfront was filled in during the early 19th century, Dock Square continued as a center of commerce for some years. The addition in the 1960s of <a href="/wiki/Government_Center,_Boston" title="Government Center, Boston">Government Center</a> changed the scale and character of the square from a hub of city life, to a place one merely passes through.<sup id="cite_ref-camp1997_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-camp1997-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As of the 1950s the square has become largely a tourist spot, with the <a href="/wiki/Freedom_Trail" title="Freedom Trail">Freedom Trail</a> running through it.

In 1733 a public market building opened, to some controversy (opponents disliked regulation).

By 1764, it was illegal for vendors to place "'any horse, cart, carriage, stall, stand, bench, block, provisions or incumbrance in or upon ...
