Boston is the largest city in New England and the capital of the state of
Massachusetts in the United States of America. It is famous as the city
that was the axis of the American Revolution, a watershed moment in the
history that pipped a newly formed country like the US to stand up against
the greatest naval and colonial regime of its time- Britain. Even more
momentous was the fact that US emerged victorious in the war. Boston is
where the spark of discontent first spread with events like the Boston Tea
Party and Boston Massacre. Subsequently, Boston evolved as home to the
United States' first public school (1635), first subway system (1897) and
first public park (1634) besides being a major manufacturing center.
