Boylston is a place in Montgomery County, Alabama, in the United States. It used to be an unincorporated community. This means it was a settlement without its own local government.

A Look Back: Boylston's History
Boylston likely got its name from a family who lived in the area a long time ago. One important event in its early days was the opening of a post office. This post office began operating in 1827. Having a post office was a big deal back then. It meant people could send and receive letters and packages. This helped the community grow and connect with other places.
