Boston is the capital city and most populous municipality of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in the United States. The city's total area measures 48 square miles (124 km2), with an estimated population of 687,584 as of 2017, making it also the largest city in the New England region of the northeastern United States. As the economic and cultural hub of a significantly larger metropolitan area known as Greater Boston, this sprawling city is home to 4.8 million people, according to census estimates from 2016. Ranked among the ten biggest such areas in the country, it also includes parts of the sixth-largest combined statistical area (CSA) in the United States, boasting a population of 8.2 million people. Founded by Puritan settlers from England on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630, Boston is one of America's oldest cities. Throughout its storied past, this city played host to pivotal events such as the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the Siege of Boston, shaping American history during the Revolution. After securing U.S. independence from Great Britain, it became a leading center for commerce, manufacturing, education, and culture. The city's early settlers referred to the area as Trimountaine (inspired by its three notable hills), later renaming it Boston in 1630 in honor of their English counterparts from Lincolnshire, England, where several influential colonists originated. This shift came after the arrival of Puritan colonists who moved over from Charlestown that same year, seeking access to fresh water. It's believed the Shawmut peninsula was first inhabited as far back as 5000 BC.
