Families are first evicted from Neptune Road to make way for expansion of Logan Airport.

June 6, 1968

Six families are evicted from three houses on Neptune Road to make way for the extension of runway 15-33. After an unsuccessful appeal to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, the evictions are granted. Eventually, 66 families and some 400 people are displaced and their homes demolished. A park is built on the site in 2015.*
