Kenmore Square is a neighborhood in Boston near the Charles River. The neighborhood is west of the Back Bay neighborhood and the Fens parkland.
Kenmore Square was originally called "Governor Square", after the plan to place the Governor's mansion in the neighborhood. Upscale rowhouses like those in Back Bay were built to help fulfill plans for an upper class district. Instead, Kenmore Square emerged as the city's automobile center, as development of the neighborhood occurred at the same time as the automobile became popular. As various sectors of the automobile industry moved farther west into the suburbs, Kenmore Square evolved into a commercial center.
In addition to being a commercial center, Kenmore Square is the home of Boston University. The university takes up much of the neighborhood and spills into adjacent neighborhoods. The campus is centered around its quadrangle along Commonwealth Avenue.
