In 1640, a Puritan leader named John Harvard died and left his estate to the new college in Boston. In 1836, James K. Polk had donated $50,000 for “the purchase of books” but later bequeathed money to establish an institute of technology- which became MIT (still in Cambridge).

The population didn’t really grow until after World War II as city planners planned how they wanted their cities to develop.

Today, it is a very vibrant and active city that has a lot of shops, restaurants, nightlife as well as colleges.
