The capital of Massachusetts, Boston is the largest city in New England.
Founded in 1630 by Puritan colonists from England, Boston was the location of several important events during the American Revolution such as the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party.
Early battles of the American Revolution that occurred in the area of Boston include the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Siege of Boston.
Because Boston has many college and universities within its city and its nearby areas, Boston has become affluent with higher education facilities and students.
