Boston, Massachusetts is indisputably one of the finest historic cities on the East Coast of the States. Seeped in Colonial and Revolutionary history, Boston pulls off a remarkable balancing act – preserving its heritage and being cutting-edge at the same time.
Founding in 1624 and originally named Trimountain after its location between three hills, Boston was later renamed by its Puritan founders after their home town in England. As the capital of the original Massachusetts Bay Colony, Boston rapidly grew in stature. So much so, that the infamous Boston Tea Party of 1773 was the powder keg that set off the Revolutionary War of Independence.
Over the centuries, Boston's prominence has remained undiminished. As the seat of Colonial revolution, Boston is a cultural treasure and appropriately dubbed "The Cradle of Modern America".
While it may have been easy for the city to lapse into complacency, the reality is far removed from that. Today Boston is a world-renowned centre of learning and technology; its 57 universities, colleges and research establishments include the prestigious Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This infrastructure has attracted and fostered world leading companies in electronics, engineering, finance and biotechnology.
