Back Bay is a district in Boston in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.
Background[edit]
Prior to the Great War, Back Bay was known for its significant architecture.[1] Serviced by Copley Station on the Green Line, the district contained the Boston Public Library.
The location was also home to several skyscrapers, such as Trinity Tower, Wilson Atomatoys Corporate HQ, and the Dartmouth Professional Building. After the bombs fell, the district was primarily taken over by raiders and Super Mutants.

Back Bay was once known for its numerous brownstones of architectural significance. It is now dominated by the Trinity Tower skyscraper, an immense building constructed close to the old church and public library. Now the streets and alleyways are home to roving bands of Raiders, ferals, and packs of wild dogs. The tower still stands, which is more than can be said for another skyscraper, which has half toppled into the Dartmouth Professional Building. Keep going south to reach a Raider tenement block stronghold of Layton Towers. Super Mutants have a powerful grip on this part of the city, too, decorating the Wilson Atomatoys Corporate HQ and Trinity Tower with meat bags and bloody spikes.”— Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Map

“
Just behind the Esplanade from the Charles River, Back Bay is mostly notable due to the extremely tall architecture which dominates its small city footprint. Both Trinity Tower and the Dartmouth Professional Building are two of the few buildings which make a striking impression on those gazing over this section of Boston. The location has been abandoned by civilized folks for quite some time, leading to super mutants and raiders fighting one another over the remaining scraps.”— Fallout: The Roleplaying Game - Core Rulebook Chapter 8
