About the City of Boston
Boston is the most populous place in Massachusetts as well as all of New England, home to nearly 700,000 people. It is one of the oldest cities in America and was the location of several key events in the American Revolution such as the Boston Tea Party, the Boston Massacre, the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Siege of Boston. These historic events and more make for many historical things to see and do throughout the city.
The city of Boston houses many colleges and universities, making it an international hub of higher learning including law, medicine, engineering and business and is home to nearly 20,000 startups. The economic base of Boston is primarily made up of finance, business and biotechnology as well as government activities. Boston ranks among the highest in the country for philanthropy, environmental developments and investments. However because of this, and the new construction of many luxury buildings, Boston has one of the highest cost of living ratios in the U.S.
The Boston Common
The Boston Common is a central public park near the center of the city. It is the oldest park in the United States and one of our capitol's most visited attractions.
​
The Common was used as a camp in the Revolutionary War, a gallows site, a protest spot (historically and presently) and houses a large burial ground.
