Boston is the state capital and is the largest city in Massachusetts. It is located in the eastern part of the state on Massachusetts Bay.
The first European settler was Rev. William Blackstone, who arrived in 1623. He was joined by Puritans from England in 1630. They named their new town Boston, after the former home of many of them in Lincolnshire, England. In 1635, they opened the first free public school in America. Today, the Boston area is home to 68 colleges and universities.
