Boston is the capital and most populous city in Massachusetts and has a population of 576,638 and a median household income of $39,629. Founded in 1630, it is the largest city in New England.
During the early 1770s, British attempts to exert control on the 13 colonies prompted Bostonians to initiate the American Revolution. The Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party and several early battles also occurred in or near the city, including the Battle of Lexington and Concord, Battle of Bunker Hill and the Siege of Boston. During this period, Paul Revere made his famous midnight ride.
After the Revolution, Boston quickly became one of the world's wealthiest international trading ports because it was the closest major American port to Europe.
Today, Boston is a sprawl of communities. There are numerous cities neighborhoods such as the Back Bay, Charleston and Roxbury; separate municipalities like Brookline, Cambridge and Quincy; and a score of outer suburbs, from Braintree to Newton to Woburn.
