The Battle of Bunker Hill near Boston was actually fought on this location, not on Bunker Hill.
Beacon Hill
Butler’s Hill
Breed’s Hill
Blue Hill
Breed’s Hill. Various reasons are given for the confusion. The American rebels were ordered to defend Bunker Hill but took up positions on the lower Breed’s Hill. Among the earliest to call it "Bunker Hill" was Abigail Adams, who wrote to husband John, "the Battle began upon our intrenchments upon Bunkers Hill."
