Suffolk, Massachusetts, was first created in 1643. The
county seat is one of the United State's premier cities:
Boston. Located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in
eastern Massachusetts, it is a major player in the 'New
England' section of this country.
Suffolk's Cities, Towns & Communities (such as Allston,
Boston, Brighton, Charlestown, Chelsea, Dorchester, East
Boston, Grove Hall, Hyde Park, Jamaica Plain, Mattapan,
Revere, Roslindale, Roxbury, South Boston, West Roxbury,
and Winthrop) were among the first in the United States to
be settled. Their rich history includes a treasure trove
of historical landmarks, many of these pivotal to the
striving new nation they represent, such as:
The Holy Cross Cathedral, (the first Catholic Church
in New England), the
Warren Tavern, (George Washington's funeral speech was
given here), the
Old North Church, (where Paul Revere's lanterns
touched off the American Revolution), and the
Freedom Trail, (walk the redbrick trail where freedom
was born, among so many others).
Dynamic, involved, politically contentious, Massachusetts
has lead the way for the nation since it was one of the
first 13 Colonies. Suffolk County, in particular, is not
content to rest on its laurels.
The Big Dig Project, the story of the most expensive
road project in American history, is a prime example of
the foresightedness of Suffolk's planners and doers. The
elevated Central Artery/Inner Belt system began
construction in 1950, and may or may not have been the
most expensive road project in American history, what is
sure is that Massachusetts lead the nation with this huge
project, and began, and funded, it on its own, without
waiting for the federal interstate system to be
established under U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower.
Today, Suffolk's population 689,807 (2000 census), enjoys
some of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation.
Educated, ambitious, and conscious of their historical
status, the young citizens of Suffolk (median age in
Suffolk County is 31.4 yrs), have levered
Logan International Airport and the Port of Boston
into one of America’s premier transport centers and
high-technology companies have turned Route 128 into
“America’s Technology Highway”.
