Boston is part of the Megalopolis, also referred to as the headquarters of America. The megalopolis dominates the entire nation in population, economic importance, educational opportunities, and health facilities. It extends roughly from southern New Hamsphire to northern Virginia and contains dozens of metropolitan areas. They are joined together by freeways and railways. Megalopolis contains about 50 million people, or close to 1/5th the total population of the United States. Because of Boston's location next to a harbor, it is a center of immigration. It has become one of the gateways to America, bringing people from Spain to Ethiopia. Boston specifically had a significant black population at the time of the American Revolution due to slavery. Boston is also noted for its educational advances with many colleges and universities to choose from.
