Massachusetts Overview
Massachusetts, or the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, a state of the Atlantic Coast of New
England, USA; 21,386 km2, 6.5 million (2010), of
which 80% are white. Capital: Boston. Joined the
Constitution in 1788 as the 6th State; nickname: The Bay
State.
Massachusetts is one of the smallest, most affluent and with 254
inbound calls per month. km2 most densely populated
states in USA. 85% of the population live in cities, of which only
3.2 million in Boston's metropolitan area. The rest are distributed
in Springfield, Worcester, New Bedford and other mid-sized cities
besides numerous small towns off the Atlantic coast bays. Less than
10% of land is occupied by agriculture, horticulture and orchards,
while 50% is forest, especially in the Appalachians to the
west. Both agriculture and forestry are of modest economic
importance; This also applies to fisheries that, despite the US's
second largest catch (after Alaska; especially seafood, cod and
haddock), are subordinate to industry and trade, as well as banking
and finance. The traditional industries with roots back to the
1800s. (textiles, shoes, firearms) have been replaced since the
1960s by high-tech companies that made the Boston area one of the
country's leading high-tech centers from the
beginning. This was achieved through large military grants, and
collaboration with leading laboratories and research environments
at Harvard University, Boston University and the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology.(MY). Growth was greatest during the
"economic miracle" of the 1980s, but has since been reduced by the
impression of receding military budgets and corporate relocations.
However, Massachusetts is still New England's most important
industrial state. Logan International Airport and Boston's container
port are among the country's top ten exporters. In addition, a
lucrative tourism based on equal parts of historical, cultural and
recreational attractions; Among other things, Minuteman National
Historic Park, Plymouth Plantation, Springfield Armory, Cape
Cod Peninsula and the former Nantucket Island whaling
islands and Martha's Vineyard. In winter there is skiing in the
mountains to the west, the Berkshire Hills and the Taconic Mountains
with the state's highest point, Mount Greylock (1064 m). The climate
is rainy and temperate with averages around −1 ° C in January and 21
° C in July.
History
European exploration of the area occurred from the early 1600s,
but decisively became the English Puritans who arrived with
the Mayflower in 1620 and founded the Plymouth Colony. The influx of
Puritans was great, and in 1630, the Massachusetts Bay colony, which
was granted royal privilege and led by John Winthrop, expanded to
the north. By merging the two colonies in 1691, the privilege was
extended to the whole of Massachusetts including that which was set
apart in 1820 as the State of Maine. The relations between the
colonizers and the Indians were generally peaceful until King
Philip's War 1675-76; in the 1700s. there were repeated clashes with
the Indians and their French allies. Given a wide range of
contradictions with Britain, events in Massachusetts were like The
Boston Tea Party and the clashes at Lexington and Concord helped
trigger the American Revolution of 1775-83. The state remained in
the 1800s. a leader in early industrialization in the United States,
and it was marked by a very large immigration, not least from
Ireland.
