History
Founded in 1630, Boston is full of American history. Many revolutionary war sites can be found along the Freedom Trail, including old graveyards, monuments, and churches. In 1770, British soldiers fired on a crowd of people protesting the Townsend Acts, which imposed a heavy tax burden on the colonists. During the melee, the British killed five colonists. It was later described as the Boston Massacre, it was one of several events that drove the colonists to revolt against the British. John Adams, a leading patriot and lawyer, defended the British soldiers at their trial. The soldiers were convicted.
In 1822, Boston officially became a city. During the potato famine in Ireland, many Irish immigrants landed in Boston and re-built there lives here. The Boston Molasses Disaster killed 150 people in unfortunate incident of escaped molasses. As a starting point for many roadways, Boston has undergone much construction to try and ease up on the congestion with projects like the Big Dig and various bridges and tunnels. The 2000 census reported 589,141 residents in the state’s capital.
