Colonial settlement of the shores of Massachusetts Bay began in 1620 with the founding of the Plymouth Colony.[4] Other attempts at colonization took place throughout the 1620s, but expansion of English settlements only began on a large scale with the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1628 and the arrival of the first large group of Puritan settlers in 1630.
Massachusetts' history spans from Native American tribes to a leading role in the American Revolution, industrialization, and modern technology, marked by Puritan settlement (Plymouth 1620, Massachusetts Bay 1630), the "Cradle of Liberty" for revolutionary events (Boston Tea Party, Lexington & Concord),
