The Irish mob was not only limited to Boston but included New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, and New Orleans. The Winter Hill Gang was one of the biggest Irish gangs in Boston. It was one of the most successful crimes groups in America. This gang controlled the unknown gang world from the early 1960’s to the 1990’s. Along with the Winter Hill Gang, the Irish Mob War was present in Boston. The Irish Mob War is the name that was given to the conflicts throughout the 1960’s between the Winter Hill Gang and the Charleston Mob. It is said that this was said to begin when the head member of the Charlestown Mob tried to pick up the head of the Winter Hill’s mob’s girlfriend.
