From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Massachusetts Bay Colony was a small town in the modern state of Massachusetts. It was created by the English in 1629, and got its name from a group of Native Americans that were living close to the colony. It is near the city that is now called Boston.
The people who lived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony were called Puritans. Puritans are one kind of Christians that read the Bible very seriously. The Massachusetts Bay Colony was the place where Thanksgiving was first celebrated.
This colony was also the home of a man named John Winthrop (born in Edwardstone)[1], a man who built his house on top of a hill to "be closer to God"
