Boston is a sea port city founded in 1630, which makes it one of the oldest cities in America. The bustling harbor has provided a thriving trade economy and a unique location for immigration. Many historic events have been shaped in this great city including wars, cultural shifts, educational precedents, and political developments to name a few.
The actual city of Boston has a population of around 656,000, which makes it the largest city of New Enlgand and the 24th largest city in the United States. The Greater Boston area is much larger with 4.5 million people, this making it the 10th largest metropolitan area in the the United States. Boston was originally called Trimountaine after the three mountains around it, and was first settled by European settlers. Later in 1630, Puritan settlers from England named it after Boston, Lincolnshire, England.
Boston was the first city to start a public school in America, when in 1635 the Boston Latin School was created. Also, it was the first city to have a subway system all the way back in 1897. Many other unique events can be attributed to Boston including: Paul Revere’s midnight ride, Boston Tea Party, Boston Massacre, the Lexington and Concord Battles, and the Siege of Boston – all during the American Revolutionary War. The history and culture of this early American city of prominence is apparent in the shaping of it today.
After America won the Revolutionary War against Britain, Boston hit its stride as one of the world’s wealthiest international ports with trade goods such as fish, salt, tobacco, and rum. In the early 1800’s the port suffered with the Embargo Act of 1807 and the War of 1812, which led to a new focus of manufacturing and industry. Within a few decades, Boston became known more for its manufacturing and industry than its trade, as it produced notably garments and leather goods – and used the many surrounding rivers and soon coming railroads to grow many factories and mills.
Boston’s affluent society was a factor in the cultural shaping of America, and during the 1800’s starting even in the 1820’s Boston began to take shape as a very diverse city with the influx of millions of immigrants. These immigrants notably came from Ireland, Italy, Poland, Germany, and even Lebanon and Syria. The people immigrating were largely Roman Catholic, Jews, and other than Protestant, which created a very diverse city population. Boston is known by many to be called a “city of neighborhoods” because of the subsequent cultural diverse neighborhoods making up the city today. Boston has always adapted to the times, and is now a leader in many areas of society including having a thriving financial sector with towering high rises downtown, great higher-educational institutions, and a myriad of recreational and cultural attractions to include into its historic appeal.
