Good to know about Boston

English Puritan colonists established Boston on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630, on land long inhabited by Massachusett people. Fresh water helped determine the location: William Blackstone, an English resident already living there, directed John Winthrop's settlers toward a spring after their initial settlement at Charlestown encountered drinking-water difficulties.
