Massachusetts
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States. With a population of 6.4 million in a relatively small area, it is mostly urban and suburban in its eastern half but still primarily rural in the west. It is the most populous of the six New England states and contains the region's main urban center, Boston, which is also the state's capital. More about Massachusetts from Wikipedia »
