Commonwealth of Massachusetts:
Massachusetts –
U.S. state in the
New England region of the
northeastern
United States of America. It is bordered by
Rhode Island and
Connecticut to the south,
New York to the west, and
Vermont and
New Hampshire to the north; at its east lies the Atlantic Ocean. Approximately two-thirds of the state's population lives in
Greater Boston, most of which is either urban or suburban. In the late 18th century, Boston became known as the "Cradle of Liberty" for the agitation there that led to the
American Revolution and the
independence of the United States from
Great Britain. Massachusetts is also home to
Harvard University, the oldest institution of higher learning in the U.S., founded in 1636.
