Why does everyone in Boston move on September 1?
Briefly

"With people domiciled in the country, tradition has always fixed upon Sept. 1 as 'moving day.' It is thought to be incumbent upon them to get back into the city, prepare the children for school, and set things in order for the winter's duties."
"By tonight, most of the loads will be unloaded. The parlor furniture will be upside down in the new kitchen and the family will be eating in the bedroom with a bedspring for a table."
