Massachusetts’ 50
Best
Cities for Sleep
The beautiful state of Massachusetts is named for the Massachusett indigeous tribe that populated the area before the Pilgrims arrived in 1620. Massachusetts boasts some of the best universities in the world, including Harvard and MIT. The capital of The Bay State is Boston, which is the most populous city in New England. Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket are three of the most popular destinations in Massachusetts, with over 5 million visitors every year.
Things to know about Massachusetts:
- Boston was the site of the country’s first subway system, which was built in 1897
- Four US presidents were born in Norfolk County in Massachusetts: John Adams, John Quincy Adams, John F. Kennedy, and George H.W. Bush
- Boston Common was the first public park in the US
- Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard were formed during the Ice Age by glaciers
- The official state dessert is Boston Cream Pie
Massachusetts has a storied history, plenty of natural splendor, and a top-notch education system, but how do residents of The Bay State sleep? Let’s dive into our data and find out.
