Introduction
Massachusetts became the United States sixth state on February 6, 1788. The state's largest city Boston is also its capital. In the Massachusett Indian language, the name meant "large hill place". Many presidents were born in the Bay State: John Adams, John Quincy Adams, John F. Kennedy, George Bush and George W. Bush. Massachusetts also claims many firsts. The first subway was built in Boston in 1897; the first U.S. Postal Code is Agawam, 01001; and Harvard was the first college in the country, founded in 1636. Ranked 45th in size, Massachusetts has a land area of 7,838 square miles.
