Chestnut Hill is a village in Massachussetts that actually is part of Boston, Newton, and Brookline. Chestnut Hill's name comes from the series of hills that overlooks the Chestnut Hill Reservoir, Boston's water backup for emergencies. The Reservoir is no longer active, and today is a Boston landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Every year the Boston Marathon runs through Chestnut Hill with thousands of excited BC college students cheering the runners on.
