Founded in 1630, Boston is named for Boston, England, the town in Lincolnshire from which the Pilgrim Fathers originated.  Boston grew rapidly and became wealthy as the primary port for ships bound to Great Britain and the West Indies from the colonies.  During the first 200 years the city was primarily composed of English Puritans.

     Boston played a key role in the American Revolutionary War.  The Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party and several of the early battles of the revolutionary war (such as fighting in Lexington) occurred near the city.  During this period Paul Revere made his famous ride.  As a result Boston is known as the Cradle of Liberty, and historic sites remain a popular tourist draw to this day.

     The Boston hub here at Eastern Virtual Airlines is one of the largest and is a major hub for traveling throughout the country.  Logan International Airport is a major hub for flights throughout the New England area.  The Boston pilots complete flights to various major cities as well as the smaller airports using both major airliners and prop aircraft.
