SHORT HISTORY:
 This town received its name in a most interesting manner. An American
seaman over 100 years ago disembarked one day from his merchant marine
ship to a small fishing village in Davao Oriental. Seeing an old man walking
with a cane, the seaman asked "what is this place called?". The seaman
pointed at the sand below his feet.
The old man, however, thought the seaman was pointing at his cane.
Responding with a smile, the old pinoy pounded the sand with his cane and
pronounced loudly "Bahstaan!" which means "cane" in Davaoenu, the
dialect in the area.
The seaman smiled and said "Boston? wonderful!" Henceforth the village
was always known as Boston, in the province of Davao Oriental Mindanao
Philippines.
