Boston is the capital and most populous city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA, and the largest city in New England.

The city was founded in 1630 on the Shawmut peninsula by Puritan colonists from England. During the late 1700s, Boston was the location of several major events during 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, occurred within the city and surrounding areas. After the revolution, Boston became a major shipping port and manufacturing center. The city was the site of several firsts, including America's first public school, Boston Latin School (1635), and college, Harvard College (1636), as well as the first subway system in the U.S.
