Boston

Boston, Massachusetts’ largest city and capital, is one of the oldest cities in the country, founded by English settlers in 1630, just ten years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. Boston has a rich history and played a significant role during the early part of the Revolutionary War when the British occupied the city with famous events like Bunker Hill and Lexington and Concord all transpiring in the surrounding areas. Today, Boston is a densely populated city known for great sports, its Irish-Catholic heritage, and historical attractions. New England cuisine is a favorite in the city, so many restaurants offer freshly caught crab, lobster, and fish.
