When BC was founded in 1863 all of it was in Boston (hence the name), then it moved to its present location (“the heights”), where part of the campus is in Newton’s Chestnut Hill neighborhood. (bit.ly/bc-history-collection). Fun fact: the city line goes right through the southeast corner of ONeill Library. You can also find an old but still accurate city line street sign if you know where to look.
