		Boston, the capital city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the seat of Suffolk County.
		At the beginning of the 21st century, Boston was the focus of economic activity, communications, and transportation in New England and was one of the major centers of higher education and high technology in the United States.
		Boston’s population decline in the mid-20th century was due to several factors: urban renewal, which removed high-occupancy tenements and replaced them with new construction; the expansion of commercial office space into areas that had once been residential; and freeway construction, which made the movement of people to suburban communities easier.

		Nothing is more central to Boston than the Common, the oldest public park in the United States and undoubtedly the largest and most famous of the town commons around which New England settlements were traditionally arranged.
		Boston Common is not built on landfill like the adjacent Public Garden, nor is it the result of 19th-century park planning, as are Frederick Law Olmsted's Fens and Franklin Park; it started as 50 acres where the freemen of Boston could graze their cattle.
		Although the Boston Public Garden is often lumped together with Boston Common, even in the minds of locals the two are separate entities with different histories and purposes and a distinct boundary between them at Charles Street.
