Boston real estate makes up the largest city in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It is the unofficial capital of the region known as New England and one of the oldest and wealthiest cities in the United States, with an economy based on education, health care, finance, and high technology.
Nicknames for Boston include: "The City on A Hill," from original governor John Winthrop's goal to create the biblical "City on a Hill" (this nickname also refers to the three original hills of Boston); "Beantown," for Bostonian merchants' habit of making distinctive baked beans with imported molasses; "The Hub," shortened from Oliver Wendell Holmes's phrase 'The Hub of the Solar System' (the nickname he applied to the Massachusetts State House); "The Athens of America," so christened by William Tudor (1779-1830) for Boston's great cultural and intellectual influence (this nickname also refers to the city's role in instigating the American Revolution); "Puritan City," in earlier times because the city's founders were Puritan.
Boston is bordered by the cities of Revere, Chelsea, Everett, Somerville, Watertown, Newton, and the towns of Winthrop, Brookline, Needham, Dedham and Canton. The Charles River separates Boston from Cambridge and Charlestown. To the east lies Boston Harbor and the Boston Harbor Islands, many of which are open to the public. The Neponset River forms the boundary between the city and its southeast neighbors, Quincy and Milton.*
