A Brief History of Boston

One of America’s most historically rich cities, the story of our nation is evident on nearly every corner in Boston. Officially founded in 1630 by English Puritans who fled to the new land to pursue religious freedom, Boston is considered to be the birthplace of the American Revolution—and with good reason. It was here that the Sons of Liberty, led by Samuel Adams, inspired colonists to fight for their freedom against the domination of British rule. The Boston Tea Party and many other dramatic events that helped shape our nation took place in Boston.
