This is a post about Boston, Massachusetts in the country of the United States of America, it is the capital and largest city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as well as being one of the oldest cities in the U.S.A. Boston is situated in the north-west region of United States, known as New England. The city is a well established city, econimically and culturally, some people would say that Boston is the silent capital of New England.
Back in 2008, they estimated that the population of Boston was 620,535, making this city the twenty-first largest in the U.S.A.
There is also a substantial larger metropolitan area, which is known as Greater Boston, and is home to 4.5 million people and happens to be the tenth largest metropolitan area in the U.S.A.
Greater Boston is a commuted area and there are six Massachusetts counties, included within Greater Boston, they are, Essex, Middlesex, Norfolk, Suffolk, Plymouth, and Worcester, and also being included is all of Rhode Island and parts of New Hampshire and because of this the population becomes a massive 7.5 million people, making it the fifth-largest Combined Statistical Area in the United States.
There are many colleges and universities within Boston and it’s surrounding area, boston has also been classed as a highly educational centre for medicine. The city’s economy is very well recommened when it comes to research, includes, electronics, engineering, finance, and high technology—principally biotechnology. It is also ranks very highly in the country when it comes to jobs per square mile and is ahead of the greater cities of New York City and Washington, D.C.
This city and area of United States has a wealth of history for example the 1630, the Puritan colonists from England, came to found a city on the Shawmut Peninsula. But during the late 18th century, so much happened in Boston, including the American Revolution, including the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. Several early battles of the American Revolution, such as the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Siege of Boston. The city has expanded over the years, beyond the peninsula, and it was after the American Independance, Boston then became a major player in the shipping and manufacturing industries.
Finally because of this city being so historical, it has attracted up to 16.3 million yearly and due to being the first city to have a public school, Boston latin school and a subway system, wow what alot to see and learn if you get the chance to visit Boston.
