Known as the 'Athens of America,' the Greater Boston area got its name from the various teaching and research activities of more than 100 colleges and universities. America's first college was founded here in 1636, now known as Harvard University. Today, this prestigious school is joined by Boston University, Boston College, Emerson College and Suffolk University. A combined 250,000 students are in attendance in these and other local institutions, contributing $4.5 billion annually to the Boston economy.
As the capital of Massachusetts, Boston was founded on September 17, 1630 by Puritan colonists from England. The city became a hub for many historical sites such as the Boston Harbor, the Boston Tea Party and the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. These events spurred the American Revolution, making the Bostonians famous for refusing taxation without representation.
