Well, you could say that the historical significance is that it was one of the first militia based battles of the revolutionary war, and the first one that really drove Boston toward the revolutionary cause. It started the American revolutionary epoch, that is the historical significance.

This was the first battle of the Revolutionary War in which shots were fired. No one knows for sure who fired the first shot. Often called "the shot heard 'round the world."

It was the first engagement between American militia and British troops in the American War For Independence. That day, April 19th, is still a state holiday in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
