About Massachusetts
Massachusetts, officially the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is a state in the northeastern United States; it is one of the six New England states.
Massachusetts borders Vermont and New Hampshire in the north, Rhode Island and Connecticut in the south, and New York in the west. The state is bounded in the east by the Atlantic Ocean.
Massachusetts’ nickname is “The Bay State,” or also “The Spirit of America” currently used on the state’s license plates.
The name Massachusetts is derived from the word of the Massachusetts language (an Algonquian language) and means “at the big hill” or “at the small, big hill.”
Short History
The Plimoth Plantation is a living history museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The museum attempts to replicate the original settlement of the Plymouth Colony established in the 17th century by English colonists who later became known as the Pilgrims.
Settled by the Mayflower Pilgrims in 1620. The area of Massachusetts was part of the original territory of the United States. In the mid 18th century, the Massachusetts Bay Colony became a center of resistance to the British and a driving force of the movement for independence from Great Britain.
Boston, one of the oldest cities in the country, is known as “the birthplace of the American Revolution.”
Massachusetts was admitted to the Union on 6th February 1788 as the 6th state.
