) is the
capital
and
largest city
[9]
of the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
in the
United States
. Boston also served as the historic
county seat
of
Suffolk County
until Massachusetts disbanded county government in 1999. The
city proper
covers 48 square miles (124 km
2
) with an estimated population of 655,884 in 2014,
[10]
making it the
largest city
in
New England
and the
24th largest city in the United States
.
[3]
The city is the economic and cultural anchor of a substantially larger metropolitan area called
Greater Boston
, home to 4.7 million people and the
tenth-largest metropolitan statistical area
in the country.
[6]
Greater Boston as a commuting region is home to 8.1 million people, making it the
sixth-largest combined statistical area
in the United States.
[11]
One of the oldest cities in the United States, Boston was founded on the
Shawmut Peninsula
in 1630 by
Puritan
settlers from
England
.
[12]
[13]
It was the scene of several key events of the
American Revolution
, such as the
Boston Massacre
, the
Boston Tea Party
, the
Battle of Bunker Hill
, and the
Siege of Boston
. Upon American independence from
Great Britain
, the city continued to be an important port and manufacturing hub, as well as a center for education and
culture
.
[14]
[15]
Through
land reclamation
and
municipal annexation
, Boston has expanded beyond the original peninsula. Its rich history attracts many tourists, with
Faneuil Hall
alone drawing over 20 million visitors per year.
[16]
Boston's many firsts include the United States' first public school,
Boston Latin School
(1635),
[17]
first
subway system
(1897),
[18]
and
first public park
(1634).
The area's many colleges and universities make Boston an international center of
higher education
, including
law
,
medicine
,
engineering
, and
business
, and the city is considered to be a world leader in
innovation
and
entrepreneurship
.
[19]
[20]
Boston's economic base also includes finance,
[21]
professional and business services
,
biotechnology
,
information technology
, and government activities.
[22]
Households in the city claim the highest average rate of
philanthropy
in the United States;
[23]
businesses and institutions rank amongst the top in the country for
environmental sustainability
and investment.
[24]
The city has one of the highest
costs of living
in the United States,
[25]
though it remains high on
world livability rankings
.
