The most Irish town in America is named

I didn't see Little Ireland, Rockland County, NY mentioned Every other resident is either irish or irish american.

HAHAHA IF THATS THE MOST IRISH TOWN IN THE US THEN THERE IS VERY LITTLE LEFT TO SAY APART FROM HAHAHA!!! KEEP DREAMING !!!

Loretobarbados the reseson is the ENGLISH were here first the irish always was behid the pack. My grandmother came from Galway to work for PJ McGuire he was a ward boss for Mayor Curley and then she met and married one of the family and that how she stayed after. I;m from Cambridge and now it is yuppies going to Harvard or MIT and you could buy a place if you were a senior

So proud to have spent my Jr & High School years growing up in N Weymouth, MA with the very best "kids" in the world as life long friends. They don't make em like that anymore! And who knew we were growing up in such an elite town? As I recall it, it was a very hard working, blue collar town. We kids had better be in before dark, or boy would we get it!

Immaterial which is the most Irish town in American but certainly Boston's South Shore towns have to be represented. My mother worked as a domestic after immigrating and told of taking a train to Scituate and Marshfield (Brant Rock) to meet her friends on their day off. They later bought a cottage in Humarock (Marshfield) which is still in the family. As for Breeze Point being more Irish because it is "conservative", my Roscommon born father would dispute that even in an era when Ireland was still controlled from the pulpit and the socioeconomic policies of De Valera. He was a life long "liberal" Democrat who moved from the working class to management.

Even in Ireland, Boston, MA is referred to as “the next parish over to the west”. Dorchester is part of that “parish” and has been, and is still, a town of Irish. Although, as their incomes rose, many have migrated to suburban communities, there are many others who remain and flourish. While it is true that in every decade, since about 1950, cities that received a large increase in black migrants (Dorchester, Mattapan, Roxbury) also lost a larger number of white residents, it also is true that many of those moves were due to increased income, while many may have stemmed from a desire to avoid living in racially diverse neighborhoods. Poverty and crime were/are a part of the social history of these areas no more or less than South Boston or any area where poverty is the gating factor. To say that “Dorchester is NOT Irish”, is glib and a jibe at many Irish who call Dorchester home. (http://irishmassachusetts.blogspot.com/2009/10/irish-heritage-festival-in-adams.html)

And not one of those towns has a an Irish name!!!

Scituate is not Irish in the number of people with Irish accents. Its residents are probably two or three generations removed from Ireland. My grandparents went to Scituate for a week or so in the summer in the 1920s. My generation went to Marshfield (the next town) in the 1950s and 1960s.Now my husband and I bring our children and grandchildren to the South Shore for a week or so in the summer. It is a lovely place, with rock cliffs that fall down to the ocean, much like County Kerry. John F.Kennedy's grandfather owned a home in the next town before they moved to Hyannisport.

It's a beautiful place, Scituate. Was there tarring the roads with Bell and Flynn from Stratham, NH in the early 70's. God Bless the Irish and God Bless Massachusetts.

Agree with francisquinn. Everyone I know there is an Irish American. Do not know how this was determined. Don't remember that question on the census. If it was there I declined to answer.

Dorchester is "NOT," Irish but one might need a militia to live there.

One word, Woodlawn.If you have to ask why,you haven't been paying attention.

I would gravitate to Breeze Point, NY (part of Queens Country) not only because of the number of Irish Americans but because it's inhabitants are politically conservative as opposed to the left leaning Mass...

Beautiful Scituate! Congradulations!
