Boston (pronounced i/ˈbɒstən/) is the capital and largest city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States. Boston also served as the historic county seat of Suffolk County until Massachusetts disbanded county government in 1999. The city proper covers 48 square miles (124 km2) with an estimated population of 655,884 in 2014, making it the largest city in New England and the 24th largest city in the United States. The city is the economic and cultural anchor of a substantially larger metropolitan area called Greater Boston, home to 4.7 million people and the tenth-largest metropolitan statistical area in the country. Greater Boston as a commuting region is home to 8.1 million people, making it the sixth-largest combined statistical area in the United States.
One of the oldest cities in the United States, Boston was founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630 by Puritan settlers from England. It was the scene of several key events of the American Revolution, such as the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the Siege of Boston. Upon American independence from Great Britain, the city continued to be an important port and manufacturing hub, as well as a center for education and culture. Through land reclamation and municipal annexation, Boston has expanded beyond the original peninsula. Its rich history attracts many tourists, with Faneuil Hall alone drawing over 20 million visitors per year. Boston's many firsts include the United States' first public school, Boston Latin School (1635), and first subway system (1897).
From the first time I heard this song this is what I envisioned. Putting on my headphones, turning the volume to MAX, closing my eyes, Boston's The Launch always evoked images of the countdown, the engines igniting, and shuttle lifting slowly from the pad, flame smoke and ash filling the air.

Travel video about destination Boston in the United States of America. Boston has over half a million inhabitants and is the largest of New England's cities.

US novelist Colin W. Sargent in conversation with Edmund Hurst about his novel THE BOSTON CASTRATO (Barbican Press 2016). This was the book's UK launch, at the Philip Larkin Centre, University of Hull, March 2016. The novel whisks a ragamuffin from Rome to the Boston of the 1920s. It crosses gender barriers and features a vivid cast of real life characters, including the poet Amy Lowell and her entourage. 'Apparently, this book was considered so subversive that no US imprint would touch it,' wrote THE MORNING STAR. 'Yet it has real literary value and it is to the credit of Barbican Press that we can read such an extraordinary literary expression of the American nightmare.' Colin speaks of the writing choices he made, and gives brilliant advice to writers.

All of his life he has dreamt of this moment
Through all the blood and the work and the sweat
Focused or blinked just so single minded
Nothing could stop him when his course was set
To conquer each fear and to push every boundary
Never accepting the limits they set
What doesn't kill you can make you feel stronger
What makes you stronger gets you though each test
Oh, god speed to you
He looks to heaven and feels it surround him
Unknown unknowable foreverness
What lies at the end of this historic journey
No one can know you just take your best guess
Each thing he faces just seems to uncertain
He is strapped in for the ride of his life
Life in the hands of a hundred computers
12 million horsepower rocket to die
