About Boston, Suffolk County

Boston is one of America's oldest cities, a compact colonial port on Massachusetts Bay whose harbor and rivers made it the commercial and intellectual capital of Puritan New England. It cradled the American Revolution, still walks visitors through that history on the Freedom Trail, and today pairs a world-leading cluster of universities and biotech with a fiercely loyal, championship-stacked sports culture.

History of Boston

• William Blaxton was the first colonist to settle the peninsula, and the new town was named after Boston in Lincolnshire, England, from which many settlers came.
• It became the capital of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the commercial hub of New England, built on fishing, shipbuilding, and trans-Atlantic trade.

Landmarks and Places in Boston

• The Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile route past 16 Revolution-era sites from Boston Common to the Old North Church and Bunker Hill Monument.
• Fenway Park, the oldest active ballpark in Major League Baseball, home of the Red Sox since 1912 and famous for the Green Monster.
• Boston Common, established in 1634 and considered the oldest public park in the United States.

The Boston Economy

• Rooted historically in maritime trade thanks to a harbor at the mouth of three rivers reaching inland.

Community Life in Boston

• A dominant four-major-sport town: the Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and (regionally) the Patriots, whose success earned the 'City of Champions' and 'Titletown' nicknames with 13 championships since 2000.
• The Boston Marathon, first run in 1897, is the world's oldest annual marathon.
• Signature foods include Boston baked beans (the root of 'Beantown') and New England seafood such as lobster.
