Boston

Boston is the capital and largest city of the U.S. state of Massachusetts. The largest city in New England. Boston was founded on September 17, 1630 by Puritan colonists from England. After the Revolution, Boston had become one of the world's wealthiest international trading ports due to the city's consolidated seafaring tradition – exports included rum, fish, salt, and tobacco. During this era, descendants of old Boston families became regarded as the nation's social and cultural elites.
