Boston, Massachusetts

Moving to Beantown? If you're a baseball fan, you might want to keep you head down if you plan to route for any team other than the Boston Red Sox. That aside, Boston is the epitome of a New England city with historic architecture, bustling business, widespread academia, and oh yeah, it's full of people who drop the "r" off the end of words. Its widespread appeal has kept Boston movers busy in the past decade.

Economy: Boston is a center of finance, government, and academics. Its largest industries include publishing, food, and various manufacturing. Boston has become increasingly technology based and is touted as second in this area only to Silicon Valley. Major companies headquartered in Boston include Gillette, Teradyne, Biogen, Novell, and EMC Corporation. Recently, the historic depth of the city has led tourism to become a large part of the economy.

Tourism: Boston is rich in historical structures which make the city a popular tourist destination. Notable places include the Old North Church, Paul Revere's house, Old South Meetinghouse, the old statehouse, the Boston Common, and Faneuil Hall. Major churches include King's Church, Trinity Chapel, and the Mother Church of Christian Science. Other cultural landmarks include the Massachusetts Historical Society, the Boston Public Library, Symphony Hall, and Boston Light. Major sports teams include the basketball Celtics, baseball Red Sox, and hockey Bruins, among several other smaller professional and collegiate teams.

History: The area was founded in 1630 by John Winthrop. The settlement enforced strict religious rules and values. The area soon became a large trading area because of the excellent location of its port. A "Great Fire" hit Boston in 1760, which destroyed hundreds of buildings in the city. Boston was a major part of the American Revolution with key events such as the Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, and several major battles. The city was incorporated in 1822 and at that time, it was one of the largest trading areas. In the mid 1800's, the manufacturing industry grew producing leather, clothing, and machine products. William Lloyd Garrison's publication in 1831, The Liberator, started the abolitionist slave movement in the United States.

Also during this time, the city attracted a large European immigrant population. The Great Boston Fire of 1872 destroyed a large part of the city totaling over 700 buildings. Boston authors started to flourish during this time, and the city is still known for its strong literary base. In the late 1800's and early 1900's, the "Banned in Boston" movement started, where government officials prohibited publications or works that were considered offensive. In 1919, the Boston Molasses Disaster killed 21 people when they were crushed with the substance. In 1942, there was the deadliest nightclub shooting in U.S. history at Cocoanut Grove Nightclub when 492 people were killed. During the 1950's and 1960's, Boston was experiencing economic downturn.

It was not until the 1970's that the city began to boom again. The financial, academic, and health care industries all did extremely well and Boston became known for being one of the top cities for these industries. In recent years, some of the distinct culture Boston once had was lost because of acquisitions and further commercialization.

Land Area: The city of Boston encompasses 48 square miles.
