Massachusetts  is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States.

Massachusetts' population lives in Greater Boston. Generally the Great Massachusetts features two separate metropolitan areas: Greater Boston in

the east and the Springfield metropolitan area in the west. Many of Massachusetts' towns, cities, and counties have names identical to ones in

England. This state as played a significant historical, cultural, and commercial role in

American history.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.

Originally dependent on fishing, agriculture, and trade, Massachusetts was transformed into a manufacturing center during the Industrial Revolution.

During the 20th century, Massachusetts' economy shifted from manufacturing to services. In the 21st century, Massachusetts is a leader in

higher education, health care technology, high technology, and financial services.
