Boston

Boston is the capital and largest city of Massachusetts. Founded in 1630, Boston is one of the oldest and most culturally valuable cities in the United States. The Boston Tea Party, a famous incident in American history, eventually led to the American Revolutionary War. The city is a center of higher education and health care in the Northeastern United States and is known as the most educated city in the United States. Its economic base is research, finance, and technology, especially bioengineering.

When someone mentions Boston, they often talk about the famous higher education in the city. There are three major renowned and highly ranked universities near the city, Harvard, MIT, and Tufts.
