Boston is an unranked city in the New World created by FredTheTimeLord. It sits in Ward 5 south of Zaquar on the west of Elecna Bay, and to the east of Loch Lyman and the Estival Sea. The city lies along the Zephyr Line south extension, starting at  ZS32  Foobar to  ZS34  Foobar. Boston also serves as the capital city of New England.

History

South Bakersville

The current site of Boston originates as part of a secret base built directly south of Zaquar in a snowy plains biome around October of 2018. The military base was established against the KIA. However, plans for the military installation evolved. A significant expansion of the base was planned, consisting of a large underground nuclear bunker inspired by vaults from the Fallout videogame series. Very little infrastructure remains of this proto-Boston; A vault entrance can be found underneath a cut sandstone building at the southwest corner of Zaquar Post Road and Paddington Road across from the Black Mesa Boston IT Center. Additionally, a section of the original base can be found directly below the Tower Hill Ruins park. Two cobblestone ovals sit directly above the old nuclear cooling stations, masked as ex-foundations to the aforementioned towers. A section of hallway and stairs continue from the cooling stations leading to a Jeb door and a snowy incline which served as the base's main secret entrance. However, a majority of the ex base was destroyed by the Boston Underground and a road underpass. the only other remaining piece of infrastructure is a pilot tunnel connecting the base remains to the vault door.

Early Boston

The shift towards modern Boston occurred in late 2018. FredTheTimeLord was inspired by the London Underground and wanted to build a city based on United Kingdom infrastructure. Instead of claiming new land, he decided to reuse South Bakersville's land following a lack of interest in proceeding with the bunker plans. The name Boston was chosen in reference to the United States city of Boston, Massachusetts due to the irony of having an American-named British-themed city. The first piece of Boston to be constructed was the Tower Hill Underground station and surrounding roads. This coincided in January of 2019 around the same time as the Zephyr South extension, with the Zephyr Line running down the middle of what is now Zephyr Street. The neighborhood of Aldgate proceeded next along a newly widened river. A majority of this area was built based on London, a new focus for Boston's development pattern north of the river. More and more infrastructure would proceed to be built, including the first chunk of the Boston Railway Corridor in the northeast corner of the loop.

South of the river

In a choice made out of burnout from focusing on London infrastructure, Fred decided to build actual Boston-based infrastructure south of the Boston River, including a new separate transit system based on the actual MBTA Subway. Notable recreated buildings include the Old State House (with the subway station entrance in it's basement), the Old South Meeting House, King's Chapel, and other historical and modern buildings as seen in the actual Boston, Massachusetts. Several notable exceptions to the US-themed section of Boston are the rail infrastructure, such as Waterloo station and Stratford International station due to their importance in the theming of the Boston Railway Corridor. An addition to the south Boston region included the asset transfer of PyroCity at the June 2019 General Staff Meeting (GSM). PyroCity remains significantly preserved in its original acquired state. However, the town's former city hall was shifted north in order to make way for a railway viaduct carrying westbound tracks out of Waterloo railway terminal.

Westward expansion

Boston began expanding west along with the Boston River and the northern section of the railway corridor. The first major milestone in Boston's expansion west was the acquisition of GenesisX2 in May 2019, a month before PyroCity's acquisition. Much like PyroCity, GenesisX2 remains significantly preserved in its original acquired state. The former street network was adapted and upgraded to Boston's standard road design. Additionally, the lower part of the water tower has been covered by the edge of the B550 extension in 2023. Nonetheless, GenesisX2 remains an important integrated part of western Boston. Directly to the south of GenesisX2 is the Euston Railway Station, an important part of Boston's infrastructure. This locale marks the last road crossing along the Boston railway corridor. Northwest is Chesham station, the last station in the city .
