Louisburg Square is a private square located in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts that is maintained by the Louisburg Square Proprietors. While the Proprietors pay taxes to the City of Boston, the city does not own the square or its garden. It was named for the 1745 Battle of Louisbourg, in which Massachusetts militiamen led by William Pepperrell, who was made the first American baronet for his role, sacked the French Fortress of Louisbourg.
The square itself is a small grassy oval surrounded by a wrought-iron fence; access is generally not available. There is a statue of Christopher Columbus at the north end and of Aristides the Just at the south end.
