Date
Boston, one of the oldest and wealthiest cities in the USA, was founded by the indigenous people of America at the beginning of the 17th century and is one of the first regions of America to receive immigrants from Europe. Most of the first settlers in this area were Anglicans and Puritans of English origin, and gave the city the name of Boston, England. At the beginning of the 19th century, since most of the immigrants who came to Boston were of Italian and Irish descent, the Catholic sect started to gain weight instead of Protestantism in the city. Today, Boston is known as the city where Irish people are most active in America.
