Boston, MASSACHUSETTS - 1907 - City Seal, Bunker Hill, Capitol

Description: Boston, MASSACHUSETTS - 1907: Boston is the capital and largest city of the U.S. state of Massachusetts, officially the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; Boston also serves as county seat of the state's Suffolk County. The largest city in New England, the city proper, covering 48 square miles (125 square km), had an estimated population of 626,000 in 2011, making it the 21st largest city in the United States. One of the oldest cities in the United States, Boston was founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630 by Puritan colonists from England. It was the scene of several key events of the American Revolution, such as the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Siege of Boston. Through land reclamation and municipal annexation, Boston has expanded beyond the original peninsula. After the coming of American independence, the city became an important port and manufacturing center, and a center of education and culture as well. Its rich history helps attract many tourists, with Faneuil Hall alone attracting over 20 million visitors. Boston's many "firsts" include the United States' first public school (1635), and first subway system (1897). This Undivided Back Era postcard shows some iconic images associated with Boston, including the City Seal, which was adopted by "An ordinance to establish the City Seal," passed January 2, 1823. This Undivided Back Era (1901-07) postcard is in good condition, but there is some edge wear.
